OXO Good Grips 7-Piece Nesting Measuring Beaker Set

Marvelous for youngsters learning to cook
These are wonderful measuring cups for liquids or solids that “pour” (think sugar or salt, not flour). The design is superb: There’s enough room at the top to fill, say, with a cup of milk, but not be overflowing and dripping everywhere as happens with a conventional measuring cup, a handy feature cooking with children, but also nice for grownups.They nest well and don’t take up much space, and are color coded by size.The graduations are handily laid out, especially for essentially math and conversion-free scaling of recipes (Ie, milliliters, tablespoons, fluid ounces, and teaspoons are all available on smaller beakers) and the gradations are clearly marked and easy to read. They survive the dishwasher, too. My wife has even purchased a set to use in her occupational therapy clinic. Highly recommended.

Great for shaky hands!
To continue the saga that is my super shaky mother in the kitchen….She called me up one day jokingly fussin up a storm that she couldn’t measure anything anymore. Spices flying everywhere, liquids falling all over the countertops, the stove was a mess, what was she going to do?! She apparently attempted to measure out six tablespoons of a liquid to make a stew, and it took quite a few more than six attempts to get six tablespoons into the pot. Not cool.Her requirements for whatever I found were something able to measure small amounts (like 1/4 teaspoon) and something for larger amounts. I figured something like a beaker would be best and was pretty shocked to find that there was actually such a thing as beaker-esque plastic measuring cups!Of all the sets I found, this set is perfect. It has cups for larger measurements, and it’s the only set I found that actually goes down to 1/4 teaspoon. The openings are flared, which makes measuring much easier. And while I’m not a fan of the whole rainbow thing, I (and she) do appreciate the color coding for making searching for the right cup much easier. Sturdy, easy to wash, great quality, and a must-have in anyone’s kitchen. This is probably her new fave thing in the kitchen, and she’s having to clean up a lot less of a mess because of these.

Son pequeños pero utilices. El más grande es de una taza y mide 9cm de alto y de ahí le sigue el naranja que se ve más alto pero es de 175 ml. Son Bonitos.

I think we bought these because of a recommendation on Slate. We’ve been using them often for over a year. We wash them in the utensil basket. Markings haven’t faded. They don’t take up too much space in a drawer. Much easier than spoons for liquid, even some solids, like seeds.

Love these cups. They clean nicely, they measure accurately, they pour well, they look pretty, my kids like them as a toy and potential drinking cup. Exceeded all expectations.
