Made from heavy-gauge 18/10 stainless steel, these stylish and durable measuring cups will never melt, chip, warp, or break like plastic models. This set includes four of the most common measuring sizes: 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, and 1/4 cup. (Half measurements are conveniently marked inside each bowl--making it easier than ever to halve recipes.) Appropriate for dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, or rice, these nesting cups feature hygienic, easy-to-clean single-piece construction without welds or seams where food scraps can lodge. The ergonomic design balances on counters without tipping over, while a flat rim makes it easy to level off ingredients when precision is essential. An included ring and slotted handles for hanging make even storage a snap. All cups are dishwasher-safe. --Mary Park
Product Description
This set of 4 measuring cups combine beauty with functionality. Single-piece construction of the heaviest gauge 18/10 stainless steel eliminates the weld for enhanced strength and hygiene. Each tool is ergonomically designed for maximum comfort and to balance on the counter. The set includes the four most commonly called-for measurements: 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, and 1/4 cup. These unique measuring cups have a line inside the bowl to mark half of the measurement -- making it much easier to halve recipes.

This review is from: Amco Advanced Performance Measuring Cup Set (Kitchen)
Several years back I bought a set of Amco stainless steel measuring cups that look identical to how these do. I needed another set, so I bought them here, thinking they were the same.
They're not. My original set is decently heavy (if I get a chance, I'll update this post with the difference in grams), heavy enough for even the 1/4 cup to stand freely and level on its circular base. The handles on my original set are heavy duty and cannot be bent. This set's 1/4 cup doesn't stand freely on its own. It tips onto its handle, and its handle can be bent. In short, they're lower quality, but if you've never owned a set, maybe that won't bother you. Additionally, in my opinion, these stainless steel cups are much better than the average plastic cups for baking. The handles are designed better for scooping things like flour, and I really like having the markings for when I want to use the 1 cup measurer to measure, say, a half cup. I find stainless steel is easier to clean up too and they never melt and crack in the dishwasher like I've had plastic cups do. Meanwhile, I'm still searching for a set that's as high quality as my original Amco cups... 22.Feb.2011 Update: As previously mentioned, I'm listing weight differences below that support my review's complaint: Weight differences in grams for the original Amco stainless steel measuring cups I own versus this set: Size, Original, This Set, % Reduction 1 cup, 196, 150, 23% 1/2 cup, 140, 110, 21% 1/3 cup, 114, 88, 23% 1/4 cup, 116, 76, 34%

It's true it is more light weight and bendable.,

This review is from: Amco Advanced Performance Measuring Cup Set (Kitchen)
If you like things with a more heavy-duty quality and feel, you probably don't want to order this from amazon. Crate and Barrel sells the exact same thing (by the product number anyways, 8440) for $20 also, but the Crate and Barrel set weighs 120 grams more than the amazon set. I actually measured it using a kitchen scale. With this said, it's really up to you whether or not you prefer something more lightweight or heavy-duty. I personally prefer a more heavy-duty feel because I am looking for something that's going to last a long time. The handles on the Amazon set do bend more easily while the one from the Crate and Barrel set does not bend at all. I'm not sure why Amco is producing products with different quality for different sellers. On the other hand, the Amazon set is still a decent buy, but I'll probably be giving it away rather than using it myself. I suppose I probably wouldn't have minded if I didn't end up going to Crate and Barrel to pick up the matching spoon set and felt the cup set they sold there.

Beautiful, well-made product! A nice accessory for your kitchen.,

This review is from: Amco Advanced Performance Measuring Cup Set (Kitchen)
These are gorgeous: heavy weight, solid one-piece construction (hard to find, easy to clean), wide-bottomed stable design. They have marks on the inside to measure half of the cup.
I will be getting all of the cups and spoons! [Update: The one-cup cup is fairly large at 4 inches, making getting into some containers difficult, and can be messy. I bake bread and find that leveling the flour requires a long, straight edge because of the size, and if I don't measure over the sink, I make a mess. I haven't found a suitable alternative, though.]
