Product Description
The Good Grips Stainless Steel Measuring Cups is a sturdier way to measure out those ingredient amounts. Built from sturdy stainless steel, its bright numbers make it easy to select the correct size. Soft, non-slip handles make comfortable grip. The long necks ensure that your hands don't end up in the flour bin.
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

 Love them December 26, 2007
R. Lamb
I am a professional baker and I love these. I actually have 3 sets. They are used everyday all day long and are perfect in every way.
 Handles are too heavy and angled May 23, 2007
Poiuyt Man (Bakersfield, CA USA)
Yes, the handles are bendable. I found this out when I held the utensil in both hands and tried to bend it. It hasn't happened to me in actual use. It might be a problem if you're scooping cement mixture, but for sugar, cornmeal and the like, it's not an issue.
As for inaccuracy, I carefully compared them with my Pyrex cups and they were spot-on. Maybe some people got bad batches.
I did have an problem with the angle and weight of the handles. They angle up quite sharply and may be difficult to fit in shallow drawers. And the rubber grips make the smaller cups unable to stand up on their own.
The ring that they come on is also quite useless. Good idea for spoons, not for cups.
Recommended: Amco Advanced Performance Measuring Cup Set. Same price; better design and build quality.
 Hate these. May 2, 2007
Jenney Chendea (Virginia, USA)
It took one swift "whack" by my toddler and the cup was flying off the handle. I'm tossing these and I'm sorry I've ever bought from OXO, with all the problems I've had.
Not up to Oxo's usual standards of quality March 18, 2007
pm444 (Okemos, MI USA)
As previous reviewers have already noted, the handles are not strong enough and they bend easily when scooping out brown sugar or even flour. While you can bend them back, it's still an annoyance and makes these unacceptable. The basic idea is great, since there are times when you need measuring cups that will scoop (unlike glass Pyrex measuring cups that are better for ingredients that you pour). However, since these do not really do the job, look elswhere. All Clad and MIU France (made in China, in spite of the name) make similar measuring cups and they receive positive reviews.
Bad Measures January 11, 2007

I tried to review these at Macy's where I bought them from after following a link here but they don't allow bad reviews on their site. If it's bad - they time you out and won't let it post. Since I started here I'll review here. I didn't get a chance to check the handle issue. I checked them for accuracy because the 1 cup just didn't look quite right. I was correct. It is off in measure nearly 1/8 of a cup! I checked it against Pyrex, Pampered Chef and another OXO measuring cup. All measured true to each other but were way short of 1 cup when dumping from this cup into them. I measured liquid and I measured dry to check it out. Sorry guys - these are heading back to the store immediately.
