What is the reason why the measuring cup has spouts on both sides of the rim?

A pouring spout refers to a small pathway created by pinching the edge of the rim so that liquid does not run down the exterior surface when pouring into another vessel. Most measuring cups on the market have a notch on only one side, making them convenient to pour only when held with the right hand; however, placing spouts on both sides allows both left-handed and right-handed people to pour out contents stably regardless of the holding hand^[2].

The handle extending long from the side of the body proves useful during cooking processes involving heat. Because the handle extends generously outside the pot, heat does not reach the hand, allowing for a comfortable grip even during double-boiling cooking to melt butter or chocolate by placing the cup over boiling water^[3].

Numbers are clearly engraved on the surface of the stainless steel cup, allowing measurements to be made while checking gradations up to 200ml^[4]. Measuring broth seasonings or sauces in exact quantities and then pouring them directly into a pot while holding the handle can be completed seamlessly with a single tool.
