Editorial Review

A brilliant innovation, this 2-cup measuring vessel is not round but oval. That means calibrations are printed on the cup's sides, as is conventional, as well as on a patented guide inside the cup that's angled so it can be read from above. The result is that this cup doesn't have to be held up--or bent down to--in order to determine how much liquid it contains. While Oxo guarantees satisfaction with a money-back guarantee, there's no reason to return this product. It's better than any other measuring cup. Moreover, it has a slip-resistant handle for when hands are wet, and it's made of rugged, dishwasher-safe plastic, with calibrations in both standard measurements and metric. --Fred Brack

Summary:	Better than standard measuring cup
Comment:	Bought this product because you could see inside measure rather than outside the cup. Was not disappointed!!!

Rating:
Summary:	Great for accurate measurements particullarly with liquids
Comment:	I think it works really well for measuring. I think it is important to use for liquids rather than solids. It is easy to pour and the measurements are clear. I would manually wash in warm, soapy water (instead of dishwasher) to improve the durability and help the product last longer.

Summary:	Love this new style!
Comment:	This angled measuring cup is so much easier to read. The large rubber handle seemed a bit awkward for a light plastic cup but it turns out the handle really keeps the cup steady which is good. I got one as a gift and bought two for my mom and MIL. They love it too!

Summary:	Works as advertised
Comment:	Use this product on a daily basis and it is definitely easier to use than a standard liquid measuring cup. I'm happy with the purchase.

Summary:	Essential for every kitchen!
Comment:	I have two each of the 1/4-cup, 1-cup and 2-cup Oxo measuring cups, and one of the 4-cup ones. I actually have a ton of measuring cups, but these are the ones I grab first. It is beyond convenient to just be able to look down at the cup instead of holding it up or squatting down to see if the liquid is at the right level. They're also just the right weight, not too heavy and not flimsy. They feel good in the hand, which is important to me since I use them pretty much daily (the difference between a good kitchen tool and a great one has a lot to do with how it feels to use it, and these get a double thumbs-up for me on that aspect!). I wish they made one in a 1/2-cup size too. Heavy cream always leaves a little behind, and the taller the cup, the more you lose. I would not use these, though, for anything thicker than cream. Even with small flexible spatulas it is tough to get thick liquids out from around the inside edges. The three-piece set of these would be an ideal gift for newlyweds, kids going off to college, someone just learning to cook, or for gift exchanges, etc. Love 'em!
