A measuring cup or spoon includes a handle having a distal end and a proximal end, with a bowl positioned at the distal end of the handle, the bowl forming an interior space and terminating in an upper rim, the upper rim defining a plane and having a first side and a diametrically opposite second side. A wiper is attached to the handle by an arm, and is biased toward a first position at the first side of the upper rim, the wiper being selectively movable upon application of a force by a user to a second position at the second side of the rim, such that when the wiper is moved from the first position to the second position the wiper scrapes over the upper rim.
