OXO Good Grips 2-Cup Angled Measuring Cup - Clear View Liquid & Dry Measuring Cup for Baking, Cooking & Mixing - BPA-Free Kitchen Essentials for Accurate Measuring

It's handy and useful.Downsides are you cannot use it in the dishwasher, so using it for anything except water gets me thinking twice. Due to the way it's designed it's not the easiest to wash by hand...When I needed to replace my 1cup measure, I purchased a Pyrex. All of the gradations washed off in the dishwasher in a few months, so I had to replace it. I have had excellent luck in the past with OXO brands. So I purchased this measure. I have not been disappointed thus far. I have been using it heavily for several months and have had no issues with it, but I chose not to rank its sturdiness until I have been using it longer.I've used the glass ones for years, but I decided to take a chance on these plastic ones. They've done the job very well, and I really like how much easier they are to read than my old ones were.I like this very much because it's lightweight and easy to lift with a cushioned handle. It washes well and my husband, who cooks, uses it almost daily. I'd highly recommend this and I'd buy it aain.A glass measuring cup shattered in a three-inch fall. That doesn’t happen with these. And I love the angled aspect!It sloped so it's easy to read. It's easy to clean, and it is microwaveable. Great product.I bought this to replace my old measuring cup. It is my favorite.I like how it's so easy to useI've become so bored of life that I am writing a review of a measuring jug. This measuring jug measures things. Which, I would suggest, is the least you'd want from a measuring jug. I do like how you can see the measurements from a birds' eye view rather than sit the thing on the counter and bend down while tilting your head to the side to see if you've put the right amount of liquid in. This cheeky little addition to the traditional measuring jug - YES, you can still look on the side - is welcome.So, why not five stars? Because this is a replacement jug for an identical one that broke after a few goes in the dishwasher... meaning I have to wash it by hand. BY. HAND.I already have the larger 1 litre jug and love it - would never go back to having one without internal measurements! I regularly use it, throw it in the dishwasher and it's perfect.I thought I'd treat myself to the smaller 500ml one, which is of course very similar, but was disappointed to find UK Fluid Ounces on the side instead of Cups.I've just come back to check again - all the pictures on this listing clearly show cups... The vast majority of my recipes use cups... while this is still a perfectly good jug for things like gravy it's a bit inconvenient for measuring anything :-(Always read the description! We bought this to replace our previous OXO which had given years of good service and was delight to use. It did not however survive a 2m fall onto floor tiles, the handle snapped off. The new one is just as good but unlike it's predecessor's 1 Litre capacity has a capacity of 500 millilitres - always read the description!!!Its still a good measuring jug and we don't miss the larger capacity as much as we thought we would. We have a number of OXO utensils and gadgets all are very well made with a thought through design that make them very functional and comfortable and easy to use.Bought one of these about 2 years ago and the handle snapped off after about a year. As it is good to use for smaller measurements, I bought a replacement 5 months ago. However, the handle has snapped off again so I won't be replacing as there us clearly a serious design fault.I use a measuring cup every day from making coffee, cooking or the occasional baking. Every single person who has used a measuring cup can tell you the only annoying thing about them is leaning over to check your measurement-- especially if you have neck or back problems. Thankfully OXO has removed this factor! You can accurately see the measurement overhead and the grippy handle is nice if you been dealing with greasy or oily foods.The one con is quite clear, the cup is entirely plastic. While they rate it as dishwasher friendly, I'd recommend against microwaving. If OXO could make this out of a Pyrex style glass, this would be a 5 star winner that I'm pretty sure any home cook, baker, chef or really any human being who has a kitchen would buy without hesitation.If this helped, please click the button below!
