Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of OXO Good Grips Measuring Cups, Stainless Steel
Customer Review: Cute but cute doesn't cut it in a busy kitchen
Summary: 2 Stars
Usually OXO produces well designed items that have you thinking "They *really* thought about how this thing was going to be used (and abused)!" Unfortunately the other reviewers are spot on -- very bendy handles. It's a shame, but you should pass on these.Customer Review: whimpy handle
Summary: 2 Stars
I love their products and granted I am the first to admit I am not a cook but I think scooping out flour from the bag with the one cup measuring cup shouldn't bend the handle. Plastic cups can handle it, I would have thought metal would do it too.Customer Review: Disappointed

I have other Oxo items that I like very much, but these Stainless Steel Measuring Cups are a big disappointment. I also experienced the handle bending easily when packing in brown sugar. They will be in my next yard sale.Customer Review: Bad Measures
Summary: 1 Stars
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.Customer Review: Not up to Oxo's usual standards of quality
Summary: 1 Stars
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.
