Amazon.com Review

Whether you're a professional chef or you're just trying to get dinner on the table for your family, this measuring set is a kitchen staple. The six cups range in capacity from 1 cup down to 1/4 cup. Each cup has a flat base to prevent it from tipping and a half-measure line in case you need to reduce your recipes for a smaller guest list. Made of durable Lexan plastic, these cups can be run through the dishwasher without the risk of melting.

They are also completely stain-resistant to even the ripest berries or the most colorful Indian spices. The cups nestle for easy storage, and a locking mechanism keeps the set together and makes it easy to transport for campsite cooking. To hook the cups together, simply stack them, slide the plastic pin through the holes in their handles, and twist the pin 45 degrees until it locks. --Cristina Vaamonde

Product Description

Almost like having two sets in one, each individual measure is marked with its own half measure, so the 1/4 cup also has a marking for an 1/8 cup and so on. The clear, rounded look of this set has a clean Euro-style feel.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally - Heavy-Duty Plastic Measuring Cups, October 4, 2000

I bought these measuring cups 4 months ago, and I love them. They are made of very heavy plastic that doesn't crack or bend when you get them warm or put them in the dishwasher. Because they are clear, you can see what you are measuring and each cup is marked half-way up with a line telling you where half of the amount would be - very handy if you need two and a half cups of flour - you no longer need 2 different sizes to measure this. Hands-down, this is the best set up measuring cups I have ever purchased.

5.0 out of 5 stars Two thumbs up!, March 6, 2004

I had been considering several metal measuring cup sets but ended up trying these. I have no regrets. The price is a bargain. Lexan is an excellent choice of material for the kitchen and gives the cups a quality feel. The tapered sides and generous radius on bottom edge make for easy hand washing. The in-between sizes provided are really useful. The halfway line molded into every size (no markings to rub off) is extremely thoughtful and my favorite feature. I use it to measure liquids. In the past, to measure 1/4 cup of orange juice I would fill a 1/4 cup to the brim and it would end up overflowing. With this set, I can simply fill a 1/2 cup halfway and still be confident it is accurate.
These are the best measuring cups I have purchased. If there is one thing that is not perfect, it's the hook that's provided to hang the cups with. Because it requires you to nest the cups in order of size and to pass the hook through the handle of each cup, it is a huge hassle to remove and replace any piece of the set. I simply don't use it.

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect Set, July 22, 2003

I esp love three things about these. They are see-through, makes measuring easier. They have a 2/3 and a 3/4 cup size, I hate having to do two 1/3 cups or a 1/2 and a 1/4. And each cup has a halfway mark line which is very handy, esp for the 1/4 cup showing a 1/8 cup. Perfect when you have to halve a recipe. I've recommended these to everyone.

UPDATE: I've now had these for 8 years and just today I marveled again how great they are. They are only slightly scuffed and still the half markings and see-throughness make them awesome.
