Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Calphalon 4-Piece Nylon Measuring Cup Set
Customer Review: Of my two sets, I like this one less.
Summary: 3 Stars
I received two sets of measuring cups as wedding gifts and decided to keep both. I suppose you can never have too many, especially if you enjoy baking, as I do.This set is well-constructed and lightweight, making it ideal for manouvering in sacks of loose rice and other weighty whole foods you may store in your home. It is also good for measuring messy foods like peanut butter or butter, since its surface is relatively unsticky, making it easy to dump into your mixing bowl *and* easy to clean afterwards.
One annoyance is that the cups sometimes fall off the little hook which keeps them together -- the hook is similar to clips which attach laptop case straps, but made loosely so that you can take it apart for cleaning or ease of use. My feeling is that the clip is made a bit *too* loosely, and the cups fall away from one another a bit too frequently during use.
I feel, in general, good about this measuring cup set...it's really quite functional and nice. I gave it three stars because it's not everything I dreamed of and more -- not exactly the Platonic Ideal of the measuring cup. I prefer my other set for its look, its stronger (but still flexible) hook and its, more satisfying weight in my hand. However, this set is excellent for basic use.
Recommended.
Customer Review: Awesome set of measuring cups
Summary: 5 Stars
This is the best set of measuring cups I have ever owned. They are actually fairly sturdy with significant weight compared to others I have used. I love the extra measurements on each cup, very handy and will often let you use one cup where you might have had to use two or three before. The black color is very attractive and durable, you can bet these will last a long, long time and always look great. Unlike other cups that quickly get beat up and battle-scarred. Very innovative design and highly recommended.
