Bellemain One Piece Stainless Metal – Nesting measuring cups for Kitchen for Bakers, Dry – Ml & Oz measuring cup for Liquid, Metallic, Set of 6

Quality, and functionality, too!
These measuring cups are exactly what I’ve been looking for. I’m tired of plastic cups that can be so frustrating. I’ve had ones with handles that would break when scooping out something firmer than flour, like brown sugar. Also a pain is when the printed measurements would fade away over time and use. These thick, high-quality stainless steel cups could very well end up as an heirloom someday. I think they’re that durable! And the measurements are ENGRAVED on the good-lengthed handles with cheery colors added and are so easy to read. At this excellent price, add these measuring cups to your gift for a future, young bride, or better yet, gift yourself!

Best measuring cups I’ve tried to date
Really cannot say enough good things about these measuring cups. We previously used a set of plastic measuring cups, and when the handle snapped off on one while trying to scoop out a cup full of sugar, we decided to toss the whole set and try out a stainless steel product. I’d never heard of Bellemain before searching for these, but picked these based on the fantastic reviews. The price was a little higher than some competitors but nonetheless, all the reviews seemed to indicate that they were the ones to get.When they arrived, I thought they looked a little cheap in the packaging to be honest…they just come in a fairly plain looking cardboard box that is eerily reminiscent of lower cost import products. But I quickly forgot about that after removing them from the box. The design of these measuring cups is pretty much perfect. The measurement on each one is stamped into the metal handle, so you’ll never have to worry about it fading away or wearing off. The cups have a little “nub” on the front of each so that they stack great in a set and lay flat, so they don’t take up much space or pop up to jam kitchen drawers like some other sets do. The stainless steel is the perfect thickness…not too thick to be annoyingly heavy, but thick enough that you can tell these things could take a beating and still last for many, many years.Some other reviews had some concerns about the handles being too short. I’m 5’11” with slightly larger than average hands, and I didn’t find the handle length to be an issue at all. Still plenty long to easily get a comfortable grip on even the smallest measuring cup. I actually found that I appreciated the short handles, because it makes them much easier to fit in our utensil drawer.All in all, easy five star rating for me. They clean up perfectly whether by hand or in the dishwasher, the measurements are accurate, and I can tell that these will withstand any abuse I throw at them. I’d be surprised if I buy another set of measuring cups anytime in the next 25 years.

Really nice
Bought this set to replace plastic as we are eliminating plastic from our cooking as much as possible. The handle had come off our previous metal one cup measure. This is really lovely. Sturdy, well made, good solid feel and attractive. I did reattach the chain to only be on the one cup measure so I could use each one separately. That was very easy and could be put back to all if I desired. Got good reviews and I give it one also.

Very nicely made.
I bought this set because it has no sharp corners, engraved measurements in both English and metric units, and more measurements than most. The only thing I find a little bit odd is the protrusion that helps the cups stack nicely. When I use a cup to extract an ingredient from a bag, the protrusion seems a little bit in the way, but it’s not really a problem. It wouldn’t keep me from buying the set again or giving it as a gift. It’s a very nice set.

This set of measuring cups is a joy to use; I love it when a tool excels in both form and function!The steel is thick, so the cups are hefty. They will not bend when scooping out dense ingredients and will resist dents from bumps and drops. The insides of the cups are brushed steel, the outsides have a polished finish. Small tabs on the front of all but the largest cup allow them all to nest level rather than the cups falling in and the handles splaying. The holes in all the handles line up when nested, so a clip could be used in place of the included ball chain.The sizes are stamped on the handles, not painted or lightly etched. A slight indent in each handle further strengthens it against bending, and the numbers are stamped as large as they can be on the flat parts of the handle. The numbers could be larger if they were displayed on the sides of the bowls, but this way they are visible when the measuring cups are standing on a counter or held in the hand. With imperfect eyesight, I can read the measurements from the counter or from waist level, but not at arm’s length.The useful ⅓ cup, ⅔ cup, and ¾ cup sizes are also included in this set; and all the measurements have been tested and confirmed to be accurate.The bowls have a flat bottom and curved sides, so there are no corners where ingredients might stick. Steel construction prevents the static buildup and clinging that can happen with plastic measuring cups.A well thought-out design and excellent construction at a reasonable price; the best of the look-alikes.

excellent

American sized cups! Sourced the ones i wanted from Amazon US (take a look on there same as these exactly) and was looking for the same make and model in the UK. Appeared sometime in the second half of this year on UK Amazon as they weren’t available here before that.Solid one piece stainless steel. Take off the ring, that’s only for keeping them together originally. No more converting!
