2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, November 25, 2005

This review is from: OXO Good Grips 6-piece Measuring Cup Set, Black (Kitchen)

I thought these measuring cups were going to be great to have, since they include the 2/3 cup and 3/4 cup "extras" that come in so handy. However, I have found two things I don't like about them: 1) ingredients don't release well from the texture of these cups, for some reason, and 2) the measuring cups I own are black (I assume these are the same, although there is currently no photo on this site) and started out with brightly colored dots on the handles with the "1" or "1/2" inside them. After only having them a few months, the dot on the 1 C. measure has completely worn off and a couple of others are showing wear. These have always been washed by hand, too. This is particularly inconvenient because the 2/3 and 3/4 cups make it much harder to distinguish by size just by looking at them. Someone needs to go back to design and start over.

(MANUFACTURER)

Thank you for your feedback on the OXO Measuring Cups. The problem you're referring to actually had to do with how we were printing the measurement markings onto the plastic handle. Due to feedback, we changed the design so that the measurement marking is now molded from plastic and inserted into the handle, so it can never rub or wear off, even after years of use and dishwasher testing.

For consumer feedback on the new design, please see some of the more recent reviews. We rely on feedback from consumers and work very hard to develop products that stand the test of time. It's one of the reasons we offer a lifetime satisfaction guarantee, so if you ever have a concern with an OXO product, just call us at1-800-545-4411 and we'll make it right!

I have had the black and the white versions, and the colored dot with the number wore off very quickly, even though it said on the package that it was "guaranteed not to wear off!" So, of course I called the company, who to their credit promptly sent me a new set, whose numbers again wore off. I'm still left guessing if I'm using the correct cup because now, a couple years later, there is no sign that there was ever even a number on them. I'm writing this review today because I'm finally buying a new set in a different brand. I also had trouble with OXO's stainless steel cups.

I bought these in a department store a couple of years ago and I have not had any of the problems the other people are talking about. The numbers are still all there after 2 years of use. I've even had them fall to the very bottom of my dishwasher during the cycle and still the numbers are firmly attached. The ingredients have always come out just fine for me. Most importantly I love the variety of sizes included. In fact I am planning on getting a second set to help on those days that I do a lot of baking at once. I even went out and bought the matching measuring spoons.
