I have always liked Oxo, so am surprised by this product. 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 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. 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.
Love these measuring cups by Oxo. I have lots of their products and I'm always happy w/everything I buy from them. Definitely worth the purchase.
I am a professional baker and I love these. I actually have 3 sets. They are used everyday all day long and are perfect in every way.
Good idea for spoons, not for cups.Recommended: Amco Advanced Performance Measuring Cup Set. They angle up quite sharply and may be difficult to fit in shallow drawers.
I found this out when I held the utensil in both hands and tried to bend it. Yes, the handles are bendable.
Maybe some people got bad batches.I did have an problem with the angle and weight of the handles. It hasn't happened to me in actual use.
It might be a problem if you're scooping cement mixture, but for sugar, cornmeal and the like, it's not an issue.As for inaccuracy, I carefully compared them with my Pyrex cups and they were spot-on. And the rubber grips make the smaller cups unable to stand up on their own.The ring that they come on is also quite useless.
Same price; better design and build quality.
It took one swift "whack" by my toddler and the cup was flying off the handle. I'm tossing these and I'm sorry I've ever bought from OXO, with all the problems I've had.
