Product Description

Amazon.com Review
Made from heavy-gauge 18/10 stainless steel, these stylish and durable measuring cups will never melt, chip, warp, or break like plastic models. This set includes four of the most common measuring sizes: 1 cup, 1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, and 1/4 cup. (Half measurements are conveniently marked inside each bowl--making it easier than ever to halve recipes.) Appropriate for dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, or rice, these nesting cups feature hygienic, easy-to-clean single-piece construction without welds or seams where food scraps can lodge. The ergonomic design balances on counters without tipping over, while a flat rim makes it easy to level off ingredients when precision is essential. An included ring and slotted handles for hanging make even storage a snap. All cups are dishwasher-safe. --Mary Park

 Well made, very good-looking, and accurate April 9, 2008
Not only do they look good and feel sturdy in your hand, these cups are accurate and easy to scoop and level. I saw an earlier review claiming the wider top meant less accuracy; however, recipes are never accurate when calling for cups/tablespoons/teaspoons anyway (temperature, humidity, and elevation change things too). I use my scale when I need accuracy.
They are more expensive than most other cups, but I bought them more for their look and feel than functionality. I don't think measuring cups deserve that much attention (spend more effort researching your knives and appliances). If you are looking for cups, you can't go wrong with these. If you have reservations on price, buy some other ones. Either way, your recipes won't know the difference, only you will.
Feels wonderfully heavy in your hand January 31, 2008

These are VERY well-made. They feel great in your hand and are nice to look at as well. The wide mouth on the 1-cup can be a little difficult to measure flour with, but it doesn't bother me. I like the low, wide look of the cups. Gave this item 4 stars because a 3/4 cup measure would have been a nice addition. It's an unnecessary pain to measure out 1/2 then 1/4 cup.

 Shallow cups make for less accuracy June 1, 2007
5 out of 5 found this review helpful
I was going to buy these off Amazon, until I actually saw and handled them at a Bed Bath & Beyond store. As another reviewer mentioned, the cups are very wide and shallow, leaving a lot of room for error. The halfway marks are even less useful since there's no way to level it off half-filled (unless you're measuring liquids, which really shouldn't be done with a dry measuring cup anyway).
It's a shame, since the Amco Advanced Performance spoons are very well-designed. I'm probably going to go with the MIU stainless steel cups instead.
Indestructible February 2, 2007
After yet another set up measuring cups got tossed with broken handles and dinged up cups, I got these. Even measuring cup banging by the kids has not dented them and I see no way on earth for the handle to come off. I considered the All Clad for $40, but those still have riveted handles which will come off some day.
