Amazon.com Review
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

Customer Reviews

One MAJOR flaw!
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.

Excellent design, but DO NOT use with fats!
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!

An excellent improvement over the usual..
I think the ability to read the measures without bending over to look at the measures so they are line of sight is excellent. I have spent less, if any, time pouring liquids...bending to look...getting back up and adjusting only to have to get back down and look again...

I find all this adjusting pretty tedious and I think the set up of this allows for more accurate measures the first time around. A plus that is a great convenience... The handle feels good and its non-slip which helps as you are deaing with liquids. I really like this brand for very reasonable gadgets at almost always great prices. I chose the 4-cup version as it isnt a size that I have. Sometimes I will fill the cup with chicken stock, let it cool a bit and take off the congealed fat. The smaller versions would be too small for this use.

I think it could be a bit easier to pour but with a little care and attention, I havent had any disasters with it. oxo is a great brand for stocking a kitchen in my opinion. Reasonably priced items that in general last very well under home use and there is usually a comfort feature (like the handle) included in the design. Bravo again!
