Recipe: Vegetable and Chicken Stir Fry – making a half or quarter portion

Chicken and Vegetable Stir Fry.58Another guest post from my friend Annabel.

Once more, I return with a review for Helen. Today I have miniature measuring tubes and drying dish rack to show to you.

How often do you want to make a half or quarter portion of a recipe? And you do not have a ¼ tsp measure? No – neither did I. Well no more. The OXO Good Grips 4 Piece Mini Measuring Beaker Set covers this nicely with its smallest tube. These clever little tubes let you measure up to 60ml and 2oz in the larger tubes, whilst the smaller two cover tbsp and tsp measurements. They are not only aesthetically pleasing to look at; in blue, red, green and yellow. But they stack together using up very little space in today’s modern city kitchen. They would also look perfect in any country kitchen where you don’t need to feel the need to stack them!

OXO Good Grips Drainer

After any meal has been consumed, the washing up commences – at least it does in my home. No I have no space even for a slim line dishwasher. Hand wash all the way for me. 2/3 of the OXO’s Dish Rack is covered spikes, which turned out to be super useful for drying mini measuring tubes. The other third is a clear area for irregular objects. This light weight dish rack is ideal for a smaller kitchen and suits any drainer type. Once everything has been dried and popped away. Simply pour away the excess water and clean with a washing up brush. Brilliant!

    fabulous set of containers. I love OXO and they always come up with a nice way of designing functional objects. This is one on my to get list as currently still using my little boys milk bottle as a measuring device for small volumes but that won’t last forever!

    I’m a huge fan of the OXO Good Grips range… they always look good as well as performing well in the kitchen. That drainer is awesome – puts my boring one to shame!
