1.0 out of 5 stars Handle broke off within a week of using, don't borther, July 13, 2009

Like many other reviewers have said, the handles on the cups break off with the slightest resistance. I'm not talking about yanking on it or anything, I was cleaning the cups in a normal fashion when the handle came off. I'm very disappointed with these cups and shocked that Cook's Illustrated would recommend them. I will think twice before listening to their advice on equipment in the future.

I bought my second set of these measuring cups. After debating whether I was out of my mind to consider the expensive $50 all clad set, I decided to give this brand one more chance. If Amco would secure the handles rather than glue them, this set would be one of the best bargains ever. My one cup measuring cup's handle came off after a couple years' light use. If I had not lost it I would have had it welded on. It is now a scoop for cat food. I hope that my review helps prospective purchasers decide if they want to chance it and spend $10 or buy the $50 all clad brand and never need to buy another set of measuring cups. If this set does not hold up for a few years at least -(I hope AMCO is paying attention) I will append my review and warn prospective buyers to stay away from Amco brand kitchen ware.

I hope you read this review before purchasing. I didn't read the reviews and would have benefited. Cook's Illustrated ranked this as their top buy due to long handles. Unfortunately that does not help you when the handles fall off. First week, lost a handle. I can't give a recommendation on which is better, as I haven't replaced these, yet. DON'T buy.
