Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of CIA Masters Collection Stainless Steel 4-Piece Measuring Cup Set
Customer Review: Read the "specs"...
Summary: 5 Stars
After breaking the handle off one of the cups in my cheapo plastic set, I went on a search for a nice set of cups and spoons. A lot of choices out there but in the end I settled on either the All Clad set or this one by CIA. The first thing I learned was that there's big differences that you might not pick up on before hitting the "send" button. The All Clad is a 5 cup set ($50 @ amazon) which includes the 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup 2/3 cup and 1 cup. Williams-Sonoma also sells the All Clad set in a different configuration (1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup and 1 cup) for $30, OR $39 for the 4 cups and a matching spoon set. On the surface this looks like the best deal even with the $10 shipping tacked on, BUT W-S only includes the "even" sizes. If you want the 1/3 cup you've got to buy their "accessory odd size set" for another $30 (plus shipping) which includes the odd size spoons as well as 1/3, 2/3 and 1 1/2 cups. So to get a useable set fro W-S you need to pay $69 plus shipping. Not unreasonable given that you get 7 cups and 7 spoons but not everybody needs or wants that many measuring cups rattling around (and with the All Clad they will rattle... terrible stackers.
I settled on the CIA set for a couple of reasons; I already had the CIA spoon set and I liked the cup shape. The 4 cups (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1 cup) handled my needs and stacked well but also hang nicely from an overhead cabinet door knob (out of the way but always handy), and that they were VERY well crafted of heavy SS. Both CIA and All Clad (and just about every other cookware manufacture) has all or most of their product line made under contract in China, so country of origin was not an issue. Finally I just couldn't see paying $50 for the All Clad set when this one was under $25. For me, paying $70 plus shipping from W-S for the "complete" set of All Clad was idiotic since I knew half of them weren't going to be used. The CIA set is just as well made, had a workable selection of cup sizes and came at the right price. I'm pleased and recommend this set.
