Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Measuring Cups, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: A little tipsy
Summary: 4 Stars
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.Customer Review: Love Good Grips, but these handles bend
Summary: 3 Stars
I am a huge fan of all things Good Grips. So I was excited to find these great looking measuring cups. Overall, I have been happy with them - the great feel of the Good Grips handles I have come to know and love was expected. The shape of the cups is nice, and I thought I would like having the sturdiness and durability of metal.However, like many of the other reviewers, I found that scooping is not easily done with these measuring cups. Scooping flour, sugar, and the like out of the bag bends the handle. It is easy enough to bend back into place, but each time I worry about how it weakens the overall product. I know that I'll only be able to bend it back into shape so many times before it will need to be replaced. I am happy to pay a little extra for a Good Grips product in general, but not if it won't outlast even my inexpensive, plastic equivalent kitchen tools.
Customer Review: Not up to OXO standards of functionality.
Summary: 3 Stars
I bought these stainless steel measuring cups to replace a truly awful set of plastic cups which I forcibly sent to early retirement by 'accidently' putting a bit too much pressure on the handle and breaking it.
Between the stainless steel material and the OXO brand, I was convinced this set would cure all my problems. They are good, but for the simple function they perform, they have a serious weakness in that the handle is not strong enough for the pressure applied to it while scooping out flour or sugar, especially with the one cup size. Another small caveat is that the joint connecting the handle to the cup leaves just a few too many spots for flour to gather and stick.
Look for a similar design with stronger handles.

These were a shower gift so I can't comment on them. They seemed kind of heavy to me so I would not get them for myself but the bride wanted them ;)Customer Review: Incomplete
