works good, could be improved July 22, 2008
Works great. However, I'd like it if the cups were a little bigger than the intended size and then had a second line inscribed. This would make them quite a bit easier for prep-ing liquids that will sit for a bit until they go in the pot.

Great All-Purpose Measuring Cups June 24, 2008
These are great all-purpose measuring cups. Often in cooking (especially baking), you have a recipe that calls for three ingredients to be added at a given step in the process. For example, a cup of milk with a teaspoon of vanilla and a tablespoon of honey. This is an example where these measuring cups excel. You use the 2 cup bowl which has a line inside for the 1 cup mark. Fill the milk to the one cup line, then add the vanilla and honey. You only use one item (less cleaning). Also good when activating yeast for breadmaking.

Didn't hold up in the dishwasher May 19, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful

We really liked these measuring bowls at first. Unfortunately, after being washed in the dishwasher a few times, they became very faded and the surface appears crackled. Since I just heard about carcinogens possibly leaching out of hard plastics in the dishwasher, I just can't take the risk. Especially when these bowls actually LOOK like they are deteriorating. My Mario Batali measuring bowl set went in the trash.

five crappy pieces April 27, 2008
I bought two sets of these as a wedding gift because they looked lovely and also they were dishwasher safe and microwaveable. (so I will give them that) However, they were shipped unwrapped (in plastic), unprotected, and rather dingy in a box. They are what they are. If they are what they are what you are looking for, then they will suit your purposes. They were not something I would give as a gift and not even something I would bother keeping for myself. SO I returned them and then was a satisfied customer.

Melamine - Wikipedia March 31, 2008
5 out of 7 found this review helpful

While I love the design idea behind these measuring cups, I just wikipedia'd what "Melamine" was (the material these are made from) and was a little stunned, causing me to write this comment.

"Melamine is used combined with formaldehyde to produce melamine resin, a very durable thermosetting plastic"

While I'm sure the risk is nominal, why do I just feel uncomfortable putting any food item in a material partially created with formaldehyde?

:(
