> 3 dayI am really enjoying this measuring cup set. They are more like little All-Clad pots. These are heavy and solid measuring cup set and I tested the capacity and true to size. They also have additional measuring lines on the interior. I also purchased the tablespoon set too.

> 3 dayGreat idea for these measuring cups to reflect the All-Clad design. They are heavy and well built. However, all that is wasted when the sole purpose is to measure predetermined amounts and the markings are completely off in the 1cup measure. This is poor manufacturing process variability. Suggest not etching any markings if they cannot be positioned accurately. Photo clearly shows the distance between the base of the measure and the 1/4 cup marking is too high and will be yield more than 1/4 cup. The distance between the 3/4 marking and the rim of the measure is too small in height and will yield much less than 1/4 cup if used. Its a shame that Quality Control has been abanded.

> 3 dayI paid full price for these measuring cups so my review may or may not be nitpicky. These cups arrived in a single box, stacked inside each other with paper wrapped around each cup to protect the finish. These are very nice and sturdy. I like the weight. All the cups stack nicely with the handles together or staggered and are easy to separate. All cups, including the 1/4 cup sat flat on the counter top while empty so you dont have to worry about them tipping over. The 1/4 cup has a marking inside at the half way point showing 1/8 cup. The 1 cup has markings inside showing 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 cup. The others dont have any interior markings. The handles are attached with two big rivets and feel very solid and secure. The handle for the 1/4 cup felt a little short to me. I would like it to be maybe 3/4 - 1 longer, but maybe thats why it doesnt tip over when empty. The box says these are 18/10 stainless steel. I hand washed and put these away. No rusting issues like some other reviews that are several years old. Im disappointed that these are made in China when All-Clad likes to tout that all their other stuff is made in the USA. Maybe thats why they dont even list these cups on their website. Some people have asked if these could be used on the stove to melt butter or something similar. While they look like small pans, the metal is still pretty thin compared to an actual cooking pan. I have a warming section on my stove that Id probably trust with the 1 cup size but Im not so sure about the others. The instructions say these are dishwasher capable, so Ill be trying that out the next time I use them. Right now Im very pleased with these. If anything changes after a lot of use, Ill update my review and describe any problems, but at nearly 10 times the price of a cheapo set from WalMart, I dont expect to have any issues. Minor update: Ive run these through the dishwasher (top rack only) multiple times with no problems. So far Ive had no issue with food getting stuck around the rivets on the inside of the cup, as another reviewer mentioned a while ago. Two minor complaints: 1. The holes in the handles are too small to fit through the prongs on the little rack I use to hang my measuring cups and spoons. Ive had to stack these in the drawer for now. 2. The cups are tall and narrow, compared to my old set that was wider and more shallow. As such, its harder to fill them when scooping out stuff like flour or sugar, if youre using a somewhat narrow container for your dry goods. If youre scooping out of a 5-gallon bucket youll be fine, but otherwise you might need a spoon to top off the cup. If I could, Id deduct 1/4 star for this inconvenience. 5 year update: Hard to believe its been 5 years since I bought these. Ive washed these in the dishwasher countless times. No rust and the cups look the same as they did new. Still would like longer handles on the smaller cups though. Buying another set today as a wedding gift for someone who previously complemented me on my set.

> 3 dayThe only thing I dont like about these is the angle of the handle. Only because the angle makes them higher then necessary causing some issues for storage. This may be unique to my storage location. Otherwise 5 stars.

> 3 dayI like that they are sturdy, attractive, and have a feature allowing them to hang from a small hook, making them accessible.

Greater than one weekI LOVE these measuring cups. They are just like little pots. Sometimes I use them as a small pot on the stove. They are pricy, but they are accurate, nice looking, and very substantial (heavy) feeling. I just love them. They would make a great present for a bridal shower, or a house warming gift.

> 3 dayI love these measuring cups so, that I bought 2 more sets to give to friends. They are a bit pricey. But! I truly believe that if you go cheap the measurements will be off, they wont last long, and of course, youll end up buying them over and over again for years to come. These however will last quite a while due to the awesome build quality. Theyre very accurate and wash easily. The measuring spoons are impressive too!

Greater than one weekThis set is built to last: they are like miniature saucepans with All-Clad quality. I like the addition of a 2/3 cup measure very handy.
