Review on πŸ₯„ DI ORO 8-Piece Stainless Steel Measuring Cup and Spoon Set: Easy-to-Read, Dishwasher Safe Kitchen Tools for Precise Cooking and Baking Needs by Christina Miller

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Massive set, dimensions engraved on the handles!

I love this set of DiOro measuring cups and spoons. They are made of durable stainless steel, the handles are heavy and securely attached to the cups. Nothing shaky here. Measurements are accurate - tested with another set from a different brand. I love that the sizes are engraved on the handles - they won't rub off or disappear! The cups fold and stack well, as do the spoons. Both come with an alligator ferrule which I have to say is difficult to open. I removed it from the mugs for ease of use. The packaging was secure and the item arrived in perfect condition within 2 days. You may be wondering - why only 4 stars? A large 1 cup measuring cup will align with an empty one, but the other 3 cups will not align when empty. My guess is that the reason for this is that the handles are heavy and therefore the bowls tilt and cannot weigh them down because the bottom is flat. For the visual commentary, I used orange slices as a weight. 1/2 cup fits 2 orange slices (or requires 8 grams of water), 1/3 cup requires the weight of 3 orange caramel pieces (it was also flush when I used it to measure 1/3). 3 cups vegetable oil or 22 grams water), 1/4 cup doesn't even equal 3, maybe 4? A whopping 54 grams of water are needed for a complete flush - that's almost full to the brim, more or less a drop. 3+ candies are about the same weight as a large chicken egg minus the shell since I broke the egg into smaller cups and let them sit on the same level. It's a little annoying to wonder if they'll tip over when they contain liquid, so I'd recommend testing them thoroughly until you know where their tipping point is. It's definitely a balancing act, especially with less dense liquids. Overall I like the set, it looks very well made and I'm sure it will stand the test of time.
