There's something inherently stylish about measuring cups that come in the shape of beautiful, miniature saucepans.

A kitchen essential. This set of 4 stainless steel measuring cups on a metal ring, marked with volumes in cups and the metric equivalent in millilitres:

• 1/4 cup (60ml)
• 1/3 cup (80ml)
• 1/2 cup (125ml)
• 1 cup (250ml). The 1 cup measure is also marked with 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 cup on the interior.
