Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Wash the measuring cup by hand with warm water and mild dish soap after each use.
• Drying: Allow the cup to air dry completely or dry with a soft cloth to prevent water spots.
• Storage: Store the measuring cup in a clean, dry place. Its compact size allows for easy storage in kitchen drawers or cabinets.
• Avoid Harsh Abrasives: Do not use abrasive cleaners or scouring pads, as these can scratch the surface and obscure the measurement markings.
• Heat Exposure: Avoid exposing the cup to extreme heat, such as direct flames or very hot surfaces, as this may cause warping or damage to the material.

Troubleshooting

• Measurement Markings Unclear: Ensure the protective film has been completely removed. Clean the cup thoroughly to remove any residue that might obscure the markings.
• Difficulty Scooping: Ensure the cup is held at an appropriate angle to utilize the flat scooping surface. If rice is stuck, gently tap the cup.
