Product Description

Size: 4-Cup

Amazon.com

With a simple design alteration, Oxo has revolutionized a seemingly ordinary kitchen staple, making it doubtful that you’ll ever go back to using a conventional measuring cup again. This 4-cup measurer has cup, ounce, and milliliter markings on its outside as most cups do. However, it also has a patented angled surface within the cup so you can measure out liquid ingredients while looking straight down into the measurer. This eliminates the need to bend down or lift the cup up to read the side. As with all Oxo products, this measuring cups has the signature ergonomic, nonslip handle. The cup is dishwasher-safe but should not be used in the microwave or on the stovetop. --Cristina Vaamonde

5.0 out of 5 stars Great ergonomics, but do NOT use with fats! August 22, 2002

By fair_deal_guy TOP 1000 REVIEWERVINE™ VOICE

Size Name:2 Cup|Amazon Verified Purchase

This is a clever, well designed measuring cup, but since it is made of plastic, do NOT use it with fats (oils, creams, yolks, etc.). Any substance that includes fat will chemically attract to the plastic in the measuring cup (and vice versa), making it VERY difficult to get completely clean. While I prefer this design to my trusty Pyrex glass measuring container, I don't like to have to think twice about using it with some ingedients. If they ever make a glass version of this cup, I'll buy two!

3.0 out of 5 stars One MAJOR flaw! June 28, 2003

By M. Baker VINE™ VOICE

Size Name:4-Cup

I have to admit I love this for the ease of measuring. The only draw back (and it's major for me) is that it doesn't pour well. The spout is too flat so the liquids just spill over the edge - ok if your pouring into a large bowl, but not if you need any degree of accuracy. I hope OXOs designers fix this soon, but I don't understand how they missed it in the first place. Such a major (and simple to fix) flaw.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Truly Clever Design May 20, 2003

By Josephine Solis

Size Name:2 Cup

Like other OXO Good Grips products, the handle is slip-resistant and comfortable to hold. What makes this cup better is that, in addition to the marks traditionally found on the outside of a cup, there are also marks INSIDE the cup!

Until I started using this measuring cup, I didn't realize how much effort it took to measure liquids. I'd pour something into a cup, bend down to look at the marks on the side, add or remove liquid, then bend down again to check the measurement. Measuring is so much more convenient with this OXO cup since you are able to view the inside marks from overhead.

Another reviewer mentions a problem with nesting. I have 2- and 4-cup OXO cups and haven't found this to be a problem: Just make sure the handle of the smaller cup is positioned adjacent to, not directly above, the handle of the larger cup.

The only reason I can't give it 5 stars is because it's plastic, which limits the types of liquids that can be used in this cup.
