And they really are too big to fit in the drawer, which is silly because there is no reason for the handles to be THAT bulky.since they aren't strong anyway. but they bend EVERY time I use them, for sugar, flour, everything. I hate to replace new (expensive) items, but I use them every day and am not happy. I have always liked Oxo, so am surprised by this product. I received these as a gift to replace some 20+ year old measuring cups, because my husband thought they look so sturdy (they do). I think they bend so easily because the handles are so long, making the force on the cup higher, but as someone said, if you cant use the handles, what's the point.
I have lots of their products and I'm always happy w/everything I buy from them. Love these measuring cups by Oxo. Definitely worth the purchase.
I actually have 3 sets. I am a professional baker and I love these. They are used everyday all day long and are perfect in every way.
I found this out when I held the utensil in both hands and tried to bend it. It might be a problem if you're scooping cement mixture, but for sugar, cornmeal and the like, it's not an issue.As for inaccuracy, I carefully compared them with my Pyrex cups and they were spot-on.
Same price; better design and build quality. They angle up quite sharply and may be difficult to fit in shallow drawers.
Maybe some people got bad batches.I did have an problem with the angle and weight of the handles. Good idea for spoons, not for cups.Recommended: Amco Advanced Performance Measuring Cup Set.
Yes, the handles are bendable. It hasn't happened to me in actual use.
And the rubber grips make the smaller cups unable to stand up on their own.The ring that they come on is also quite useless.
It took one swift "whack" by my toddler and the cup was flying off the handle. I'm tossing these and I'm sorry I've ever bought from OXO, with all the problems I've had.
