Product Description
Why keep bending over and struggling to see the measurements on your measuring cup? With this mini angled measuring cup by OXO, measuring out precise amounts of liquids has become more ergonomic, less time consuming, and easy. Ingeniously designed, the measurements, which are both in standard and metric units, are imprinted within the cup at an angle, facing upward. This allows you to clearly see the measurement marks while standing, without bending over and struggling to level the marks with your eye. The measurements are also printed on the sides, like traditional a measuring cup, for those who have old habits. The mini cup additionally features tablespoon markings, so it are perfect for small-scale ingredients and recipes, and is made from durable and transparent plastic.
OXO was founded on the philosophy of Universal Design, which is the concept of designing products that are easy to use for the largest possible spectrum of users. In the case of OXO, it means designing products for young and old, male and female, left- and right- handed and many with special needs. These ergonomically- designed, trans-generational tools set a new standard for the industry and raised the bar of consumer expectation for comfort and performance.

By Sydney
I bought one of these on a whim because it was cheap and I was making something that required 2 tbs of several ingredients. It seemed pretty monofunctional, but I didn't care - it was for fun, right? But this has turned out to be one of my favorite kitchen tools! It's a million times easer to use than measuring spoons, and it seems to be significantly more accurate, which is important for the exacting science that is baking. What's more, instead of having to wash three or four measuring spoons (all dripping milk, vanilla, or orange juice concentrate all over your cooking space), you just have one little cup to wash! Anyone who cooks on a regular basis should have one of these, and everyone who enjoys cooking, even if infrequently, will wonder how they ever lived without it!

The first time I saw one of these, I picked it up and said, "Oh, isn't that clever." Then I put it back on the shelf and forgot about it. This went on for months. Then one day, my husband brought two home.
And everything changed.
Okay, the sky didn't turn plaid. The space time continum didn't unravel. Instead, I went from an awkward system of filling shotglasses up to the top of the logo and adding in a teaspoon and a half, to a quick, simple system of just measuring the exact amount I needed without thinking about it.
The angled measuring cup is just brilliant. I had no idea how useful it would be until I used it. Trust me on this one. It'll change the way you cook - for the better.
I've found these sturdy plastic cups are top rack dishwasher safe as well as occasionally microwave safe. The quantities are clearly labeled and easy to read. The moulded front pour results in no spills or dribbles.
Basically, if you're looking for a way to measure fairly precise quantities under 4 ounces, I can't recommend the Oxo Measuring Cup highly enough. Try one - it's cheap - and just see if you don't replace all your measuring cups with Oxo.

My husband has dementia due to chemicals in Iraq and I use this to give him his medications because he tends to bite down hard on the cup and it doesn't break. The marking on the side shows milliliters as well as teaspoons. It also allows me to give him ice and small amounts of liquids easier. The point on the cup goes into his mouth so even if he bites down and clamps down the liquid can still go in. I bought my first set at Target several years ago and have used them for all kinds of things but now as a Nurse and caregiver I find them terrific for Medical purposes.

WRONG PRICE FOR THIS?
I think there may be a problem with the pricing on this item. Perhaps this was what you were charging for a set of three.
