Measuring Set of 3 Silicone Flexible Mesauring Cup, Translucent

I absolutely love these measuring cups! They are flexible, but thick enough not to be flimsy. The silicone withstands hot liquids and I also allows me to handle the container with my bare hands even thought the liquid inside is hot. I used the largest one to pour hot caramel in since it is a tall cup and that allowed me to dip large pretzel sticks in the hot caramel to coat them before cooling and dipping in melted chocolate. Cleanup was amazingly easy since the caramel did not stick to the silicone.The fact that I can save space by stacking them is also a huge plus since I have limited cabinet space. I had a Tupperware cup that I had to throw out because I soured milk with vinegar in it and left what I didn't use in it overnight. It caused a reaction and at into the Tupperware measure. That won't happen with silicone. Easy to read - the markings are a little different than in this photo. Williams-Sonoma carries them hand shows the current way the cups are marked. I purchased mine here on Amazon and am planning to purchase more as gifts for both my daughters.

The media could not be loaded. It’s hard to find good quality silicone measuring cups, especially ones that have accurate measurements; but these get pretty darn close. The cups are solidly made, stable but still flexible enough to squeeze and pour from, and won’t slip out of your hands. When I tested the measurements on the sides by weight they were within one ounce - each cup came in at one ounce over the marked amount (i.e. to fill the 32 oz cup to the line was 33 oz of water). The cups are frosted, but you can clearly see what’s inside of them. They conveniently stack one inside the other, making storage simple and convenient. I’ve bought these to use for resin work, and the resin that sticks inside can be chipped out after it hardens; however, because the cups are so thick, you aren’t able to turn the cups inside out which would make cleaning a little more easy.

They clean up like a breeze. They’ll hold hot liquids and not burn the hands. They nestle well so they store great. The grip is easy, so pouring is precise. Thanks Pam for recommending these.

I LOVE these cups!! I mean...if I lost them, I would replace them the next day...that's how much I like them! I don't think I could get through a major cooking occasion without them!!These are LIQUID measuring cups, not dry. Dry measurement is different. Now, sometimes, it doesn't matter, but for precise baking, you should use the kind you fill and then level (or more ideally, weigh your dry ingredients.) Having said that, many things don't require that precision.I make pancake and waffle batter directly in these and pour right out. The flexibility makes them a dream to pour batter from. And with not having to use another pitcher, I don't have to wash anything else! I have made muffins in the big one, even cake and brownie batter. My little OXO Egg Beater fits right in there, so I mix right in it. One of my favorite things is to use them to add ingredients into my kitchenaid mixer. The area where you pour is narrow. And I don't like using that shield/spout thing, so I put ingredients in this and can squish the cup so everything gets added easily. Since they are malleable, you can easily pour things into narrow containers (like into squirt bottles or cruets.)One of my favorite parts is that they don't have a handle. I am left-handed and almost ALL measuring cups have the U.S. measurements printed on the side where RIGHT-handed people hold, I only see metric. So I have to either set it down backwards (for me) to see the "cups/ounces" or learn to pour with my other hand! I can turn this one anyway I want with no handle!!!The silicone is light and easy on your hands...even when their wet (unlike glass handles which can slip.) I can knock them over or tap a spoon on them and not worry about chips. I do try to use plastic spatulas to scrape, I don't want to scratch the silicone with digging around in it with metal.I find mine are easiest to wash with really HOT water. Let the water rinse most of the stuff, then wash normally. Of course, I stick them in the dishwasher, but I usually need one again before the next wash!

These silicone measuring cups are wonderful!!! The 2Cup cup is perfect for an emulsion blender. Making salad dressing is such a breeze; I blend it in the measuring cup and squeeze the container to easily transfer to a glass bottle. The 1C cup makes it easy to add liquids to a stand mixer. I love using the 4C cup to pour cupcake and muffin batter into the pans. I can fill the cupcake pan perfectly without any drips, and it's much quicker than using a spoon or a scoop. Also great for filling a waffle maker and making uniform size pancakes. These are so convenient; I don't think I'll ever go back to using a glass measuring cup!HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!!!! FOR THE PERSON WHO COOKS OR BAKES A LOT. REALLY IS A TIME SAVER!UPDATE: 1/18/2012 I still use these measuring cups all the time!!! They really are a time saver for adding ingredients while using my Kitchen Aid Mixer. I just squeeze the sides and pour flour or liquids into the mixer while it's running and NO mess!!!I was so glad that I owned these when I received a Baby Cakes Whoopie Pie Maker as a gift. I was able to precisely pour the batter into the wells without any dripping. These silicone cups made this process so fast and easy!!!Highly recommend!!! I put them in the dishwasher for clean up and they still look new!!!

These are so handy, I've purchased them twice. The different sizes are convenient & I love that they're sturdy enough to hold any liquid or solid but can squeeze to make pouring easy. The only drawback is that the silicone does leave water marks on the inside & they can start to look dingy after awhile - especially if you use something like a tomato sauce or pomagranate juice.
