Company Overview
Since 1961 the iSi company has been operating in the field for foodservice/ gastronomy and household. As of today, both these original products – the ISI Soda Siphon and the iSi Whipped Cream Siphon – are still the basis for innovative cooking concepts. In the late 90’s, celebrated Spanish Chef Ferrán Adriá created a revolution in modern cuisine when he used iSi Whips to create his now famous Espuma cuisine.
Today, iSi is being represented worldwide in more than 80 countries. The original Cream Whip had further been evolved for special operational fields in the modern gastronomy. Today, the offer outreaches from the Whipped-Cream specialist to the multifunctional Espumas-appliances until to the whips with thermo-function – available as handheld device as well as pedestal devices.

Review
I love these cool products that are nested and save space in the kitchen cabinet. It’s very flexible to make them easy to pour from onto a griddle or into a small container and measure any batter or liquid . I can use the large size for mixing batters to make small cakes or muffins. Squeeze the firm but flexible silicone cups to form a spout anywhere along their rims–perfect for spill-free pouring or adding ingredients to a running mixer. Easy to read markings. No batter is left using a silicone scraper. I can also make tea but it doesn’t stain. It won’t break if dropped, feel so good in your hand and fun to use. I love it’s light weight and they don’t drip down the side like pyrex measuring cups. Everyone can think these are cool gadgets and fun to use it in the kitchen.
Thank you ISI
Happy Shopping!
I like these, with the assortment of 1, 2, and a 4 cup it makes measuring and pouring a breeze
Thanks for the review.
I love the idea of having the batter not pour all over the place when I make pancakes or muffins! What a cool invention!
.-= xenia´s last blog ..GIVEAWAY: Activeion Pro (clean and sanitize with just water! ARV $299) =-.
So here is another wonderful silicone product. It always amazes me how they can safely be used from freezer to oven temperature ranges.
Ahhhhh! Nested cups saving space and then less spills too!!! Cleaner kitchen when my kiddos (or my husband even) ventures into help. I love the idea of flexible cups and i can see it IS easy to read. My cups have the measurements worn off or they are a raised stamp that i can hardly see. YEs, i have made many mistakes with wrong measurements!! Can go in the freezer? Cool! And you dont know how many glass measuring cups I have broken? I went to plastic so would be safer for kids, but they crack too….so this one would be a winner!!!
It is great that they nest and without handles they will take up less space always a plus. I also like the flexability.
ANother excellent review! I have never seen these beofre but after reading your review you have wanting to try these. I like that there isn’t any drips after you pour from them.
These look so easy to pour – my preschool-aged daughter could really help me cook if we were using these!
I love that these are heat resistant as my last plastic 2 cup measure melted in the dishwashere. I like that they have a 2 and 4 cup measure as well. So many times those would come in handy; I have noticed this since I only have a one cup measure now.
