3.0 out of 5 stars Does anyone reviewing these actually use them? March 11, 2011

By Susan

Yes, these are very cute! They look nice on my counter! Now that we've got that out of the way, they are NOT very functional! I don't like getting my hands into everything that I'm measuring and that's exactly what you have to do with these if you're using them to scoop. There is a lot of finagling to get the cups level...I had no idea how crucial handles on measuring cups were until I started using these!

These are good if you cook once in a blue moon, or as a decorative NOVELTY back-up set, but I would not recommend these to anyone who uses measuring cups on a daily basis.

5.0 out of 5 stars SPLENDID! :oD November 23, 2009

I ordered these months ago, but Amazon didn't have them in stock. I wanted them badly enough to wait for nearly 4 months to get them, and I'm so glad that I did! Not only are they absolutely adorable, but the shape of them is perfect for scooping, and I love how there is a 2/3 cup and a 3/4 cup as well, unlike standard measuring cup sets. I keep them neatly nested together on my kitchen counter, because not only are they functional, but cute as kitchen decor while also freeing up valuable space in my kitchen drawers as well. They are great!

5.0 out of 5 stars Fun & Cute! April 1, 2010

By Daisy

These are the cutest measuring cups ever. They are a hard white plastic and thin, but not brittle. I know because I dropped them on my granite counter top and they didn't shatter The measurements are written on the insides, so look before you measure. Overall, they were worth the purchase.

4.0 out of 5 stars Love these August 3, 2010

By MustangJill

I love these cute measuring cups. My daughter calls them angels! I did not give them 5 stars, because I wish I could pop them in the dish washer and I would love them to come in different colors, especially red. I love them because they store so compactly, take up no drawer space and have no annoying handles to get caught on things in a drawer.

2.0 out of 5 stars not as great as i thought... December 7, 2010

By R. Misdary

so i was so excited to get these. i couldn't figure out from the information given what they were made of. they came and they are plastic. not flimsy but still thin. i dont know how they will hold up. they are cute but not as cute as they are in the picture. if i saw them first in a physical sense, i definitely would not have bought them. but i got them for ten dollars and they dont seem worth returning considering i have to pay more than half of what i paid for them to return them. might as well keep them. i guess they are just okay. they are not as attractive when you see they are made of thin plastic. i don't recommend them.

3.0 out of 5 stars Nice Collector's Item January 26, 2011

By Clarissa Simmens

Amazon Verified Purchase

As a matryoshka collector and a baker, I was very excited to buy this item. However, it is going to join my matryoska collection because I found it unusable for cooking. The measurements on each piece are embossed in white, on the white plastic. My eyesight isn't 20/20 so I had to take off my glasses and peer into the cup to see the white numbers (for instance, 1/2 cup). Not a fun thing with cinnamon and egg on my hands. If the manufacturer would paint the numbers in black it might work, but from now on I'm keeping my collections separate from my baking.

3.0 out of 5 stars Cute but very difficult to read measurements February 8, 2011

By terri19

Amazon Verified Purchase

I really think these are cute. I do really like how they stack together, takes less room. No handles to mess with. The measurements are accurate. Makes a great gift, as long as the person has really great vision. The measurements are on the bottom,inside the cup and in white, making it very difficult to read. I have to hold it at an angle to be able to see it. I find myself reaching for my old measuring cups which defeated the purpose for purchasing these. Summing it up, Cute item to sit on your kitchen counter or a cute gift but if you cook a lot not very practical.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfection July 11, 2010

By quirkycook

I love love LOVE these dry measuring cups. First of all, the are perfectly adorable. They are also great if you tend to be disorganized, because their design keeps them all in one place so they are easy to find. They are so cute and the inside is protected from dust and any mess you might create in your kitchen, so there's no need to keep them in a drawer; you may proudly display them on your countertop. You can throw them in the dishwasher if you use an ingredient that ends up making them dirty. Plus they are Matryshkas, and who doesn't like functional Russian nesting dolls?
