 Cute but cute doesn't cut it in a busy kitchenMar 10, 2003
By Mark Sullivan
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.

 Very good with one minor problemJul 13, 2000
By David Wihowski
I love metal measuring cups for one reason. You can use them on the stove. No you don't cook in them. But if you need 1/3 C melted butter, you measure it into the cup and put it on a low burner. You can heat water for softening gelatin. If you don't care about making another dish dirty then use plastic measuring cups. But I would rather have 1 set that has more ways of being used.I also like the grippy handle and the balanced feel of these measuring cups. The one problem is that the handles bend sometimes. If you make a deep scoop into packed brown sugar you may have to straighten the handle afterward. I'm OK with straightening the handles occasionally because I like them so much otherwise.

A little tipsyDec 31, 2002

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.

 Love Good Grips, but these handles bendMay 09, 2002
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.

OXO let me down w/ flimsy handlesDec 06, 2004
By G. Hanna

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.
