Have you ever tried to pour liquid into a bottle or transfer muffin batter from the bowl to the tins and dripped it all over the counter? The Austrian company iSi has developed flexible measuring cups to address these annoying problems. Made of a pliable, sturdy food-grade silicone, the heat-resistant cups will not collapse between your fingers, but they're flexible enough to form a spout the right size for any job. They come in a set with 4-, 2-, and 1-cup capacity ($24.95 for three) or buy singletons ($5.99-$14.99). Mix, aim, and pour. From now on, you'll always hit your target.
