NUSCUP -  pronounced, [new-scoop] a new patented adjustable measuring cup and scoop from Dalla Piazza of Switzerland. This handy device allows you to select the amount you want to measure, from 1/8th to 1/2 cup (or 2 tablespoons to 9 tablespoons) then scoop up the exact amount of your ingredient.

We tend to be pretty skeptical of new gadgetry here in the Gourmetsleuth kitchen.  This stems from the lack of space we have to store these gadgets and a general philosophy that 'less is more".  But after a few minutes of using the scoop we could see that it had great potential.  Here's the scoop (ok, that pun was intended...)
