Best Oxo International 76381 Good Grips Measuring Cup Set, Stainless Deals

Customer Ratings:

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.

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.

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.

Honest reviews on Oxo International 76381 Good Grips Measuring Cup Set, Stainless

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.

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.
