5.0 out of 5 stars Finally - Heavy-Duty Plastic Measuring Cups
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...

1.0 out of 5 stars They do not melt in dishwasher - THEY CRACK
Do not buy these unless you wash them by hand. All have been washed only on the top shelf and all are CRACKED on the bottom. I wasted my money on these, when I should have bought stainless.

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

This review is from: Pyrex 6-Piece Measuring Cup Set (Kitchen)
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

This review is from: Pyrex 6-Piece Measuring Cup Set (Kitchen)
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.

4.0 out of 5 stars Strong hard plastic, December 30, 2001
This review is from: Pyrex 6-Piece Measuring Cup Set (Kitchen)
Only one thing left desired in this set of measuring cups: no spout for pouring or lip to make it easier to scoop up flour/sugar.

5.0 out of 5 stars I love this set!, October 15, 2005
This review is from: Pyrex 6-Piece Measuring Cup Set (Kitchen)
I don't usually get this enthusiastic over measuring cups, but these are so handy. I'm only cooking for two these days and find I'm halving a lot of recipes. The half markings are fantastic for this. I'd hate to have to figure out what's half of 3/4 cup of cocoa when I'm in the middle of cooking (much less figure out how to measure that amount!) With this set I don't have to, the cups do it for me!

I also like having the odd measurements that cheap sets don't give you and the fact that they're clear is nice. These were thoughtfully designed. These are a great value for the price!

5.0 out of 5 stars Close to perfect!, June 2, 2006

As Sylvia stated above, pouring lips are really the only thing that would improve this set. I think Penny has issues. All other reviews indicate how great this set is and I have to concur. Even the paddle for hanging the set works just fine for me. The half-sizes make this very user-friendly. Okay maybe one suggestion: I think the taper could be a little less. If the bases were a little wider, they would be more stable.

I love this set. The measuring cups are clear which makes it easy to see what you are measuring. The half-way line I use all the time! Love that feature! I have washed mine in the dishwasher for years with no problem. They are showing a little wear, but no stains. I just stack and store in a drawer. Highly recommend.

1.0 out of 5 stars Inaccurate--unacceptable, December 15, 2004
This review is from: Pyrex 6-Piece Measuring Cup Set (Kitchen)
I gave these 1 star only because 0 stars is not an option. These are not accurate measuring tools. I expect a measuring cup to actually measure 8 ounces. These measure slightly over--enough over to change the results of a baking recipe if the measurements are critical.
