This great set is all you need for measuring and holding ingredients. Made of durable, dishwasher-safe melamine, the five cups range in size from 1/8 cup to 2 cups and each one has a halfway mark for easy measuring. A must-have in every kitchen. You can never have too many prep bowls and these have measurements for added functionality.

Summary: I'd buy it again
Comment: Product is perfect when you're busy at work and want to grab a serving of nuts out of a larger bag or container, or if you want to measure out the right amount of yogurt quickly and get back to work. They are nice enough looking that you can use them as bowls and eat right out of them, as I do with my yogurt, nut and peanut butter snacks.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: These nesting measuring bowls-- if that's the term-- are rather attractive if you like the color orange. Each bowl can be used for two measurements as follows:
2 cups/1 cup;
1 1/2 cup; 3/4 cup;
1 cup; 1/2 cup;
1/2 cup; 1/4 cup;
1/4 cup; 1/8 cup.
For example, you can measure both 1 Cup and 1/2 cup from the same bowl. There is a line that indicates where 1/2 begins.But why would you need to measure 1/2 cup out of the bigger 1 cup bowl when you have a bowl with a bigger measurement of 1/2 cup? One of the problems is that the numbers are divisible by 2 only. How do you get 1/3 of a cup measured? Additionally how on earth do you level the smaller measurement within the larger one? Try measuring 1/8 of a cup, for example, and see if you can level off whatever you are measuing. I obviously knew there were no handles on these bowls\ when I ordered them, but I like to put the measuring cup into the flour or sugar container and then level with a knife or spatula, something that is rather difficult to do with these.
These bowls will probably stay nested on my kitchen shelf.

Summary: works good, could be improved
Comment: Works great. However, I'd like it if the cups were a little bigger than the intended size and then had a second line inscribed. This would make them quite a bit easier for prep-ing liquids that will sit for a bit until they go in the pot.

Summary: Great All-Purpose Measuring Cups
Comment: These are great all-purpose measuring cups. Often in cooking (especially baking), you have a recipe that calls for three ingredients to be added at a given step in the process. For example, a cup of milk with a teaspoon of vanilla and a tablespoon of honey. This is an example where these measuring cups excel. You use the 2 cup bowl which has a line inside for the 1 cup mark. Fill the milk to the one cup line, then add the vanilla and honey. You only use one item (less cleaning). Also good when activating yeast for breadmaking.

Summary: Didn't hold up in the dishwasher
Comment: We really liked these measuring bowls at first. Unfortunately, after being washed in the dishwasher a few times, they became very faded and the surface appears crackled. Since I just heard about carcinogens possibly leaching out of hard plastics in the dishwasher, I just can't take the risk. Especially when these bowls actually LOOK like they are deteriorating. My Mario Batali measuring bowl set went in the trash.
