Product Review: Oxo Double Jigger
Source: http://cocktailvirgin.blogspot.com/2010/06/product-review-oxo-double-jigger.html
Ingredients
- 0.5 oz On other jiggers:
- 0.75 (0.750) Ounce
- 0.5 (0.500) Ounce
- 0.33 (0.333) Ounce
- 0.25 (0.250) Ounce
Instructions
The quick and dirty results are that standard jiggers (filled to the top) are quicker and more accurate in my hands so the all-in-one convenience of the OXO Double Jigger has its set backs. The 1/3 oz jigger is elusive here in the United States although occasionally I have spotted 10 mL jiggers (Boston Shaker had some British ones a few months ago); therefore, this extra measurement line is handy. Moreover, 1/4 oz is only present on the OXO measuring cup or estimated in a larger jigger (i.e.: in a 1/2 oz) or approximated as 2 large-sized barspoons.
