Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Measuring Cups, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Disappointing
Summary: 2 Stars
Yes, the handles are surprisingly bendy. It is true that they don't bend as much if you hold them down by the cup instead of the end of the handle, but on the other hand, what is the point of getting "Good Grips" if you can't hold it by the grippy part?
Also, the 1 cup is just that tiny bit too wide to fit comfortably in my kitchen drawer. Those of you who don't live in apartments, or who have kitchens less than 20 years old or so probably won't have this problem, however.
I got these as a second set of measuring cups, because in some recipes you just don't want to stop in the middle to wash up. I thought I wouldn't care that it didn't have the 2/3 and 3/4 cups in it. I was wrong. If you're thinking the same, think carefully.
Customer Review: Too bulky; too weak
Summary: 2 Stars
I have always liked Oxo, so am surprised by this product. I received these as a gift to replace some 20+ year old measuring cups, because my husband thought they look so sturdy (they do). but they bend EVERY time I use them, for sugar, flour, everything!! And they really are too big to fit in the drawer, which is silly because there is no reason for the handles to be THAT bulky...since they aren't strong anyway. I think they bend so easily because the handles are so long, making the force on the cup higher, but as someone said, if you cant use the handles, what's the point. I hate to replace new (expensive) items, but I use them every day and am not happy.Customer Review: OXO let me down w/ flimsy handles
Summary: 2 Stars
I really like OXO products. I have a number of their utensils in my kitchen and I enjoy that they have nice big handles. Since I started getting gadgets for my kitchen I always wanted these measuring cups. Well I finally got them. I was very excited to use them for the first time. Well I went to scoop some brown sugar and the handle started bending. I was very disappointed in how flimsy the handles are. I think I'll stick to my plastic ones from OXO, I had better luck with them.Customer Review: I expected more from Oxo
Summary: 2 Stars
I bought these on a whim at Target, and figured I couldn't go wrong with stainless steel and Oxo...I should have done my research 1st. The handles bend fairly easily--like when I was scooping a cup of flour out of its bag--and the colored numbering on one of my cups has smeared and worn off! Very strange, I've only handwashed them so far. If these were under $10 I'd give them more stars, but for $20 definitely not worth it.Customer Review: Disappointed
Summary: 2 Stars
We bought these measuring cups to match our stainless steel and black kitchen in addition to our liking of OXO products. We haven't had a chance to use them enough to test the strength of the handles, but after 1 washing the metal cup rusted. I am not interested in cooking with rusty products. These are going back to Bed, Bath, and Beyond for store credit!
