Amazon.com Review
Doesn't it often seem that you can only find the measuring cups you're not looking for? Oxo solves that dilemma by including a ring that easily organizes cups and keeps them in one place. Easy to hang for simple storage, the cups are also equipped with easy-to-read labels of common measurements (1-, 1/2-, 1/4-, and 1/8-cup sizes) and color coding for little helpers who haven't mastered that skill yet. Each cup has wide handles that are comfortable to hold, and the set is dishwasher-safe. --Laurie Notaro

Customer Reviews

Cute but cute doesn't cut it in a busy kitchen
Usually OXO produces well designed items that have you thinking "They *really* thought about how this thing was going to be used (and abused)!" Unfortunately the other reviewers are spot on -- very bendy handles. It's a shame, but you should pass on these.

Very good with one minor problem
I love metal measuring cups for one reason. You can use them on the stove. No you don't cook in them. But if you need 1/3 C melted butter, you measure it into the cup and put it on a low burner. You can heat water for softening gelatin. If you don't care about making another dish dirty then use plastic measuring cups. But I would rather have 1 set that has more ways of being used.

I also like the grippy handle and the balanced feel of these measuring cups.

The one problem is that the handles bend sometimes. If you make a deep scoop into packed brown sugar you may have to straighten the handle afterward.

I'm OK with straightening the handles occasionally because I like them so much otherwise.

A little tipsy
I bought these for my sister for Christmas as she loves to bake. She complained that they tip over because of the weight and length of the handle, so she returned them for some others. She loves the matching measuring spoons though.
