One of the key advantages of a glass measuring cup is its clarity. Unlike opaque plastic counterparts, glass measuring cups allow for quick visibility of the contents. This is particularly beneficial when measuring liquids, as one can easily see the level of the liquid against the graduated markings. The 12-cup capacity is ideal for larger recipes that require substantial volumes, such as soups, stews, or batch cooking. This size eliminates the need to constantly refill smaller cups, streamlining the cooking process.
