3.0 out of 5 stars spoons OK, cups need modification for functionality, September 19, 2010

I'm not sure why nobody makes a functional set of measuring cups any more. Growing up, I always used my mom's Tupperware measuring cups, which stack together nicely for storage and include all the sizes I usually need for cooking (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 1 cup). As an adult, I have been unable to find a set of measuring cups that includes the 2/3 and 3/4 sizes. It seems to me that only someone stupid, or someone who knows nothing about cooking, would buy a set that is missing those sizes. I view the widespread marketing of non-functional sets of measuring cups as an insult to the intelligence of the consumer. Unfortunately, I still felt insulted after purchasing this set.

I bought this set of measuring cups for two reasons. One: because it included all sizes, including not only the elusive 2/3 and 3/4, but also a 1/8 cup. Two: a previous reviewer said these stack together nicely. That was the other thing I was looking for.

I have been disappointed that these do not stack together quite as nicely as I had hoped. There is a reason why they are pictured with handles facing two different directions - because that is the only way you can get them to stack so nicely and take up less room for storage. Yes, these cups probably stack more nicely than most of the measuring cup sets on the market, but they are nowhere near as nice as those old measuring cups I used as a child.

The other problem with these cups, a big problem that took me totally by surprise, is that they can not be set down flat on the counter and stay in place without tipping over. The handles are way too long, making them aesthetically pleasing, but functional only for the spoons, not for the cups. To make these cups stay upright, I cut all the handles off shorter. Especially on the smaller cups, I had to cut the handles quite short to make them anywhere near stable setting on a level surface. Even after this modification, they're still not as stable as those old Tupperware cups my mom still owns.

Although I rounded the cut edges and re-wrote the sizes with a permanent marker, the aesthetics of these cups is still obviously compromised. It had to be, to make them mostly functional. I dislike having to modify a brand-new product to make it work. The manufacturer should have thought of that. I can not recommend these measuring cups (but the spoons seem to be OK).

These are nice - but can tip over if you are not careful. I originally ordered these because of the "unique" sizes, but have found the egg separator the best part of the set!!!
