I converted everything to weight, and keep a digital scale on my counter. No more measuring cups or spoons in my kitchen.

I just use Grams like any sensible person does. Works perfect.
Every time I use a measuring cup or spoon, I put it somewhere random after I clean it. Then whenever I need to measure something, I look around until my desperation matches my willingness to make due with whatever sizes I happen to have found.
make due
make do :)
Taken off the ring and hanging on the wall from hooks side-by-side. I've seen people hang them on the inside of a cabinet door, but I don't like how they dangle and make noise.
Mine are magnetic, it's so much easier to separate and keep sorted.
I have a smallish square tub that sits inside the top shelf, of a bottom cabinet, with all the mixing bowls and blender.
I put all the atrachements for the kitchen aide, my dough scrappers, and my measuring cups (detached from ring) and loose extra measuring spoons in that square tub.
it aint pretty, but no one sees it. Its very easy to access, and I dont get frustrated with it.

I removed the ring but keep them stacked inside each other. I can't bring myself to do the same to the spoons though
Badly. The cups we had barely fit in the drawer and have to be split into two stacks or else they jam it up, so I bought a cheapo metal set on a ring that don't do this. It's not elegant and this set has fewer cups than the other. It's not a great solution so I'm hoping to read the fix some other person has found.
This probably sounds annoying, but a scale and the metric system for dry stuff. It’s more consistent and easier.
By comparison, metric system for liquids is not very practical and also imperial measuring cups are ubiquitous. I use a tall one from a stick blender kit so it doesn’t have a huge handle wasting space.
It’s more consistent and easier.
Not for my use cases. I just made a cup of instant coffee. I keep a teaspoon in the jar... they're cheap at WalMart and I grabbed a few once. Takes me three seconds to measure it out. Whipping out my scale and doing it that way would take about a minute,elapsed.
And the stuff I cook.... it's a tablespoon of this, a teaspoon of this, etc etc.... maybe eight different ingredients that way. I can't imagine doing that with a scale.
if it was just me, I would ditch the ring, but my partner prefers them bound and don't really care enough to make an issue of it.
I just estimate the amounts by "gut feeling". A pinch or a handful are the only measuring tools I own. /s
I got a set of measuring cups and spoons that stick together with magnets. Both stacked in the utensil drawer.
We hang them on the wall. I made a couple of decorative planks with brass "shoulder hooks". The hooks are L-shaped.


Yes we have two sets of measuring cups.
Spoons are in my silverware drawer, one set is still with ring, the other several sets are not. If I'm baking, or making something else that uses a lot of different sizes, I'll use the ring.
My cheese spoons are also on a ring, because I don't need 1/32tsp often.
Dry Measuring Cups are in a cabinet, taking about 1/3 of a shelf. We have a lot and love our odd size kit that comes with 2/3c, 3/4c , 1.5c and a few others.
Cheese spoons?
