Line Measuring Cups With Plastic Wrap When Measuring Wet Ingredients

Measuring butter or shortening almost always wastes a bit since you can’t dig every dollop out of your measuring cup. Make it easier to remove the ingredients with a piece of plastic wrap.

Before you measure out what you need, line the inside of your measuring cup with a piece of plastic wrap. Fill in as much as you need then simply lift the plastic out and scrape/pour it off into the pot. Not only will this save a bit of your butter, it will also leave you with a clean, dry measuring cup for the next thing you need to dole out.
