Measuring Cups (4-pc.): Stainless Steel by Cuisipro

These measuring cups are in a class of their own. They're heavy but beautifully balanced. They're easy to put into a bag of sugar or flour or use for liquids. After buying them, I learned that Cooks Illustrated recommends them.

These measuring cups are perfect for pouring ingredients into the mixing bowl while the mixer is on. The oval shape allows you to empty the contents of the cup into the bowl without loosing any of the ingredient onto the countertop.

Great heavy duty construction. I can put them in the dishwasher without worrying that they will warp or melt. Love the oval design for scooping and dumping in smaller bowls. The only thing I miss is an 1/8 of a cup measure for splitting recipies with a 1/4 cup measurement. Odd size measuring cups of this set are also available, but that set does not include an 1/8 cup either. Most people I have talked to about this "problem" never had an 1/8 cup and never thought about it, but I like to have compelete sets and I miss that option.

If you're looking for a well made, solid set of measuring cups that will last almost forever, look no more. I'm picky and wanted the best - sure these are more expensive than your average set, but as is generally true, you get what you pay for... The tall, deep sides of the larger sizes can perform double duty as a small melting pot on your stove, and their oval shapes can fit more easily into narrow storage containers.

Beautiful and easy to use but a bit heavy...they knocked over my counter top cup and spoon rack.
