7 Pieces Measuring Cups

I ordered the 15-Piece Set version of this and I love it. I use it for baking as well as other cooking purposes. I use it daily, multiple times a day, and I'm kicking myself for not buying it earlier. It's simply amazing. The product is a durable stainless steel. It's visually attractive, easy to wash, and the edges are not sharp like some of the cheaper brands that skimp on the production process (buffing?) It's worth paying more for this set so you don't cut yourself. The ergonomics of the spoons are excellent. The handles are long, enabling you to reach into tall bags and jars. The top of both the spoons and cups are flat, so that you can level them off to get a more exact quantity. Another neat little detail is that on the measuring cups, there are embossed notches showing partial measurements, so you can use a larger cup to get a rough estimate of a smaller measurement too. I LOVE the addition of the 1/2 tablespoon and 2 teaspoon / 1/8th cup units as well. I use these almost every day, in part because I tend to make things in small batches, and they're sizes that are not included in most sets. Some of the other ones, I rarely use though (3/4 cup, 2/3 cup, and 3/4 tsp). If I had any one complaint, it would be that I wish I could have bought a set without those three ones, but still including the 1/2 tablespoon and 2 teaspoon/1/8th cup ones. Unfortunately, if you size down to the 12 piece set, it still includes the 3/4 cup and 2/3rd cup and 3/4 teaspoon sizes, but it omits the much-needed 1/2 tablespoon and 2 tablespoon sizes. But that's an exceedingly minor complaint. This set is simply the best set of measuring cups and spoons I have ever owned, and at $47 it was worth every penny (although I see the price has gone up now to nearly $56, which is starting to get more expensive.) The set includes two snap-on plastic handles that can make the handles longer on the measuring cups. (Only the spoons have very long handles.) Although the longer handles are useful, because I'm primarily measuring flour with them, I found these snap-on handles less useful because flour tends to get stuck underneath and around the edges of them, so I prefer using the cups as-is. Some people have complained about the small handles on the cups being inconvenient, but it hasn't bothered me at all. The cups and spoons both stack nicely, which is good if you use them less frequently and want them to store without taking up space. Not me though. I'm using these every day so they spend most of their time out, in-use, in the sink, or in the drying rack waiting to be used again!

Finally some sturdy break-proof, bend-proof measuring cups!! If you bake and would like a set of measuring cups that will last your life-time, these are it!! The cups are all one piece so the handles won't break off. They are made of sturdy stainless steel, so the handles will NOT bend! They'll even stand up to standing on! They won't rust, discolor, or hold odors. AMAZING and worth every penny spent on them!

The cups are beautifully finished stainless, comfortable to hold, and impressively functional. The cup measurements are deeply embossed on the sides of the slightly rounded bowls, and each cup (except for the 1/8 cup) features additional lesser measurement markers, viewable both inside and outside the cup. More great features include a tiny pour spout on each cup; measurement sizes of each cup are engraved on the handles in both cups and milliliters; a couple of sturdy plastic handle extenders add extra functionality.

The measuring cups and spoons are great. I've had many different types of measuring cups and spoons over the years, and they all were lacking in some way (flimsy, hard to read, hard to clean, etc). Not so, with these stainless steel babies. The measurement labels are not printed, they are stamped directly into the stainless steel, on both the side, and on the handles. These labels are not going to fade, flake, or fall off like the labels on some generic sets do. For example, the 1 cup measuring cup also has a 1/2 and 3/4 stamped indicators, which can be easily seen on the inside of the cup, so you 1 cup measuring cup is actually 3 cups in one. Don't worry the set includes dedicated 1/2 cup and 3/4 cup measuring cups as well. All the cups can stack, nested into one another, for low space usage in a drawer. The handles all have a hole in them, so you can hang them individual for storage/display, or you can use the included circular metal ring clasp to keep them altogether so you won't lose any of them. The metal spoons are just as great! The handles for the cups and spoons have both metric and imperial measurements stamped markings on them. So whichever way your recipe is written, you are good to go. The one weird thing on them is that while the imperial measurements are lower case on the spoons, they are in upper case on the cups. Likewise, the metric measurements are in upper case on the spoons, but lower case on the cups. Perhaps that's done for readability on the smaller spoon handles. It's not a problem with functionality, it's just something my OCD noticed. If you want to clean the cups and spoons by hand, you can. But you can also just put them in the dishwasher and the nice shiny finish stays nice and shiny! I was worried that the dishwasher detergent would dull the finish, but that's not the case. Since they're solid stainless steel, you can put them in the top rack or bottom rack in the dishwasher and not have to worry about heat drying melting or warping them (like some plastic measuring cups/spoons can do). I highly recommend getting a set of these. The price is great, and this set is going to last so long, you'll probably give them to your kids or grandkids.

I’ve been looking for a larger assortment of Good quality metal measuring cups with a nice weight to them for a few years now. After comparing many that I came across on Amazon, I finally found these beauties and ordered them! The moment I took these metal measuring cups out of their box I knew I chose well! The variation in sizes is idea since I cook and bake often, the shape is a nice rounded measuring cup and I like the handles since they rest comfortably in one’s hand as well which will make them quite easy to use! They also have a nice weight to them, not light weight like my old set. I haven’t used these yet, although I’ve been cooking and baking for decades so I’m confident these will hold up for many, many years to come! Thank you for making such a well made product!

Nice set, looks premium and nice weight, has a little pour spout, plus has 7 cups. But handles are only about 1.75 inches, a little shorter than I'd like, and they don't nest as consistently as I'd like....the holes in the handles don't line up if you use the supplied ring to hold the set together. The Tiluck 7 piece set has longer handles and they line up, plus it is $10 cheaper. The Tiluck are also $10 less expensive. But their finish is not as shiny, no pour spout, and edges maybe not quite as smooth as the Simply Gourmet so they don't looks quite as premium, if that matters to you. So depends what you value...longer handles and lower price vs nicer looks.

Measuring cups and spoons are excellent. Cups are easy to read a very well made for the money. Spoons are narrow and will reach into most any spice container. We have not used them yet, but the set looks amazing.

Having gone through 8 sets of measuring cups/spoons, these are the best I have found. 1) Cups & spoons are one continuous piece of metal. No welds means handles can't break or detach! 2) The small lip extension prevents the cups from 'falling' into a larger cup when stacked. 3) Cups are level when stacked; their handles don't jet up. Cups store compactly and easily in a drawer. 4) Largest cup has no lip extension so it can be used to scrape a container bottom to remove last speck. 5) Cup exteriors are highly polished and look fantastic. 6) Cups and spoons have enough steel to feel substantial, not heavy. Have the 'feel' of high quality. 7) Pour spout formed in the lip of each cup assists with pouring of liquids. Nice feature. 8) The stainless steel handles won't *Snap* when applying pressure. 9) Includes 2 slip-on, plastic handles for the cups for when scooping & pouring hot liquids. 10) Long handles on the spoons are nice for reaching to the very botton of spice containers. 11) Squared spoons make for easy removal from edges & corners of spice containers. 12) Being stainless steel, these won't easily stain, rust, break, or lose their shape. 13) If handle lettering was more prominent, these items would be perfect! 14) Yes, I would definitely buy these again, but don't ever expect needing to! I hope this helps everyone make an informed choice.
