Product Description

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. Each of the three cups in the set 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. The set comes with three measurers in 4-cup, 2-cup, and 1-cup capacities and each measurer has cup, ounce, and milliliter measurement markings. As with all OXO products, these measuring cups have the signature ergonomic, nonslip handle. The plastic cups are dishwasher-safe but should not be used in the microwave or on the stovetop. --Cristina Vaamonde

Customer Reviews

Toxic Plastic
While I loved this product I have since given it away to someone who didn't really care about the BPA, etc. that is in it. I guess it is a personal choice even given the information on the news today. I wrote to OXO and this is their reply regarding the materials in the meausing cup:

The materials are as follows
PC (cup)
Santoprene (handle)

The Angled Measuring Cups have BPA. However, the amount of Bisphenol A present in the Angled Measuring Cups is less than half of the allowable limit by the European standard.

I know that tomatoes and other acidic materials cause these chemicals to leach even faster into your foods once they come into contact with BPA. Personally I would rather use glass. Maybe OXO can come up with a better/revised product.

Great
I bought these for my grandmother for Christmas. She asked for measureing cups with big lettering so she can see them. It is wonderful.

Great timesaver.
These measuring cups, while only a subtle improvement over others, will save you time and aggrivation. The vertically-readable scales allow you to quickly and precisely measure just the right amount of whatever liquid your recipe calls for. And you will be able to do it without bending over to see the marks, contourting yourself to simultaneously pour and view, or time-wasting trial and error. About the only negative I can say is that at least one of these cups has begun scuffing off the scale which over time could comprimise accuracy. As of now this has not been a real problem, though.

Buy these measuring cups and throw everything else away, you'll be glad you did.
