I had been having trouble with my easy adjustable measing cup and spoon. It won't hold liquids. They all seep to the bottom. I thought I was just stupid, so I just quit measuring liquids in them. I had a customer yesterday who was complaining that she too couldn't measure liquid. What are we doing wrong?????
 
Are they snapped all the way together? You'll hear 3 snaps when you put them together.

Oh Ann, Thank you thank you thank you. IT WORKED!! Now I need to call my customer and see if it works for her.:D
 
If you have the spring DVD, watch that. That's where I got that tip. :)

The only thing I get to watch is Cartoon Network, Disney and Nickelodeon. It is against the law for anything else to be on around here.
 
<giggle>
Tell the tykes it's Mommy's special show. :)
 
Another tip (after the three clicks are done) is to start with the "paddle" at the top of the measuring cup or spoon and push it down to the measurement you want. Having the air pressurized a bit will keep the liquids where they are supposed to go.

That would be MY HOUSE!!!!
 
I finally am watching the Spring Product DVD, today. I just saw the "three snaps". OH..MY...GOSH! I just went to my drawer and finished snapping my Easy Adj. Meas. Spoon. Now I can't wait to use it again and actually have it work. My EAMCup is in the dishwasher, and I can't wait to snap it together the correct way, too. This really is a very educational and informative DVD.
AAMAAZING!
 
Does the measuring cup adjust all the way to the top (flush with the top) for everyone else??? Mine does on the spoon, but not the cup. I was just wondering if that was just the way it was supposed to be.

Nope. Pretty lame if you ask me. I love the spoon, hate the cup.

Thanks for your reply! I already had sent one back thinking it was broken, and when I got the new one it was the same way.

I don't understand why it isn't just like the spoon. Oh well :rolleyes:
 
I've been making sure I mention at parties that it doesn't go all the way flush with the top. I don't want a bunch of calls about "defective" ones.
