Review on πŸ“ OXO Good Grips Angled Measuring Cup Set - Complete 3-Piece Collection for Precise Measurements by Owen Phi

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Measuring and pouring accuracy with a few small imperfections.

Obviously the main benefit of this kit is the ability to accurately measure liquids from a bird's eye view. I've spent most of my life in the kitchen, hunched over and waiting for liquids to settle and equalize so I can see how much was in a cup, it's a very valuable concept. And no doubt, beveled tick marks make for a more accurate measurement, especially for small quantities. The pointed spouts are a huge plus. I despise my Pyrex measuring cups for their wide spouts and rounded edges. With Oxo cups you can pour very precisely, so that pouring into narrow openings is not a problem. I also like the fact that they are nested within each other, although it's not the smoothest arrangement I've seen. Mix in cups. So, for example, if you want to use a small whisk to mix the vinaigrette, it's a much more awkward process than using a cup with a smooth, evenly rounded interior. Also, the fact that you can't wildly microwave them (like you can Pyrex) makes them less than ideal. However, they are a superb addition to a chef's toolbox and I have no hesitation in recommending them.

Pros
  • Dishwasher safe and BPA free
Cons
  • Lots of stuff
