Amazon.com Review

A brilliant innovation, this 2-cup measuring vessel is not round but oval. That means calibrations are printed on the cup's sides, as is conventional, as well as on a patented guide inside the cup that's angled so it can be read from above. The result is that this cup doesn't have to be held up--or bent down to--in order to determine how much liquid it contains. While Oxo guarantees satisfaction with a money-back guarantee, there's no reason to return this product. It's better than any other measuring cup. Moreover, it has a slip-resistant handle for when hands are wet, and it's made of rugged, dishwasher-safe plastic, with calibrations in both standard measurements and metric. --Fred Brack

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

By	fair_deal_guy "BB" (Prior Lake, MN USA) - See all my reviews

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!

1.0 out of 5 stars Accurate measuring?, October 3, 2004

By	D. Lizenbee (Oklahoma City, OK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I had seen this item many times on my trips to my favorite houseware stores and thought this was really a great idea. Well yesterday I finally decided to shell out the $7 to get one. I used my cup the first time this morning to make a loaf of bread in my bread machine.

After about 20 minutes of kneeding in the machine, I checked the consistency of the dough and found it very wet. So i got out the cup and my old pyrex cup and my metal cups and did a little checking, after measuring many times back and forth between the cups, i found that the OXO cup is off by quite, over an 1/8 of a cup, nearly a quarter. 1 Cup of liquid in this cup, measured almost 1 and 1/4 cup in the Pyrex. This messed up my bread and really irritated me.

I'm not one to normally write these type of reviews, but thought I should share this bit of information. So for those of you who need an accurate measuring cup, avoid this one. I'm taking mine back to the store and getting back my $7.

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

By	Josephine Solis (NJ, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
