Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of All-Clad Stainless Measuring Cup Set
Customer Review: These RUSTED immediately!
Summary: 1 Stars
Wow, I never thought something from a company like All-Clad would put out something sub-par.
I was so excited about receiving these measuring cups; I had been wishing for them for months. I took them out of the box and washed them in warm soapy water to prepare for their first use.
MINTUES later, all but ONE of the cups had horrible rust spots on the inside. Huh??? I thought this was 18/10 stainless steel!
I did find out later, however, what most likely happened. All-Clad outsources the majority of its products to be manufactured in China, in the SAME plant as other companies' non-stainless steel products, and once the items are manufactured, they are only required to inspect ONE piece of the set. Well, most likely they manufactured only ONE of these measuring cups (which in this case happens to be the 1 cup size) in actual 18/10, and the rest were made with non-stainless steel.
Needless to say, these were sent straight back for a refund. I was very disappointed in this, as I really wanted a nice set of 18/10 stainless steel measuring cups (since I use them on a daily basis and have been through so many plastic ones) but nowadays, who can I trust to make sure I am getting what I pay for?
Avoid this set at ALL COSTS!
Customer Review: You could probably kill someone with the 1 cup'r...
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought these for the wife last Christmas. We both love them.
They're insanely sturdy. Seriously... I'm not kidding about the 1 cup'r. It's got some heft to it.
The only reason I'm giving these great measuring cups 4 stars instead of 5 is because of the somewhat poor design. I say this because these cups do NOT stack well. Perhaps they weren't designed to do so, but we did find it moderately disappointing just the same. If stacking together, the 1/3 fits just snuggly enough inside the 1/4 that it can (and has on occasion) become stuck inside the 1/4. Further, the 1/4 doesn't fit inside the 1/2.
Thus... all in all, I believe there is room for improvement in the design.
That small thing aside, these measuring cups are well worth while. You won't find a more sturdy set.
Customer Review: Definitely worth the upgrade!
Summary: 5 Stars
We are using the stainless steel OXO set (Oxo Good Grips Measuring Cups, Stainless Steel) we got for our wedding nine years ago, and they drive me nuts almost every time I use them since the handles are not nearly strong enough and constantly bend. But I just couldn't see spending the money to replace them. Until I saw these in Williams Sonoma. And felt them. And saw just how sturdy they really are. No, they won't stack perfectly (because of the handles which are bolted to the cup) but I can overlook that. These are definitely quality and meant to last. And FYI--they are a lot cheaper at Williams Sonoma.Customer Review: Too cute
Summary: 5 Stars
I love these measuring cups!!! When I first received them, I was so excited because they were so cute. It might sound silly, but I not only enjoy using things that work well, but if they are cute and different I love it. They look like miniature All-Clad pots. That is just the bonus, these measuring cups are also very durable. I do a lot of baking. This Christmas I baked over 1500 cookies, so I know measuring cups. The All-Clad cups do not bend, I have other stainless steel measuring cups and when I dig into my flour, the handle bends. The All-Clad doesn't budge. I have 5 sets of measuring cups, and the All-Clad are by far my favorite. They are a great set to have.Customer Review: Awesome

You may be asking yourself "why do I need to spend this much on measuring cups?" And to that I don't have a good answer. But I got mine for Christmas and they're awesome. They're incredibly sturdy. I have a whole drawer full of cheap metal and plastic measuring cups that are either bent or broken. I don't think these will ever meet that fate.
Inside each measuring cup are measurement marks for the lesser measurements. For example, the 1 C measuring cup has a line where the 1/2 C mark is.
The only real disadvantage is that they don't stack too well.
