Progressive GT-3520 International 19-Piece Measuring Cup and Spoon Set Review

Compaired to other sets, you get more in this set for the same price or less without giving up quality. Plus, you can't put stainless sets in the microwave to melt butter.
Pros:
1. Large set with odd sizes (like 3/4 cup)
2. I won't likely use the really small (like 1/32 tsp) but they can be used as a flour leveler to scrape over the top with the larger cups.
3. Sizes are not printed/painted on so they won't wear off
4. Weighted properly so that when I set it down they lay flat. My old set tipped over.
5. Nice mix of colors which makes them pretty but also makes it easier to tell close sizes apart.
6. The measures are in labled in cups and mL. No conversions.
The only thing I don't care for is that they don't stack together perfectly. The set is in 3 parts - 1 set of large cups, 1 set of medium cups and then a set of spoons.Each individual set stacks well, but when putting the 3 sets together they don't nest perfectly. Minor detail, so it's not worth subtracting a star over IMHO.

The 19-piece measuring set from Progressive International is a comprehensive kit for measuring.

The spoon measurements are 1/32 tsp, 1/16 tsp, 1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, 2 tsp, 1/2 Tbls, and 1 Tbls. The ten cup measurements are 1/8, 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1, 1-1/2, 1-3/4, and 2 cups.

I know that i'd love this item but I'm still waiting for it. It must be taking the long route to get here or it got Idaho and Iowa confused. I ordered this in February and here it is the end of March and no measuring cup.

PAMPERED CHEF MEASURE ALL Review

PAMPERED CHEF MEASURE ALL
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I received this as a gift and it seemed like a great way to declutter my kitchen drawers. Unfortunately it doesn't function well. It's difficult to read the markings. Traditional measuring cups are much more accurate. Need 1/2 a cup of flour?? Well after you figure out how to get the flour into the tube without spilling it everywhere, there is no way to level off the top. It's all very frustrating. I went back to my old measuring cups.

Tupperware Baking Measuring Spoons in Chili Red (set of 6 with detachable ring) Review

I love this set of measuring spoons because I can use just the one I need without having to wash the whole set. I love that they will sit flat on the counter. I'm not a fan of the chili red color but that's just my personal preference. I can't imagine my kitchen without these spoons!

EZ Baker Nine Piece Bakeware Set Review

These are very lightweight, poorly constructed pans. one of the round ones was so thin, that it has holes right through at the bend between the side wall and the bottom. I did not even bother to return because they were so cheap. I would not recommend them to anyone.

MIU 13-Piece Plastic Measuring Cup and Spoon Set Review

MIU 13-Piece Plastic Measuring Cup and Spoon Set
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I'm not sure why nobody makes a functional set of measuring cups any more. Growing up, I always used my mom's Tupperware measuring cups, which stack together nicely for storage and include all the sizes I usually need for cooking (1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, and 1 cup). As an adult, I have been unable to find a set of measuring cups that includes the 2/3 and 3/4 sizes. It seems to me that only someone stupid, or someone who knows nothing about cooking, would buy a set that is missing those sizes. I view the widespread marketing of non-functional sets of measuring cups as an insult to the intelligence of the consumer. Unfortunately, I still felt insulted after purchasing this set.
I bought this set of measuring cups for two reasons. One: because it included all sizes, including not only the elusive 2/3 and 3/4, but also a 1/8 cup. Two: a previous reviewer said these stack together nicely. That was the other thing I was looking for.
I have been disappointed that these do not stack together quite as nicely as I had hoped. There is a reason why they are pictured with handles facing two different directions - because that is the only way you can get them to stack so nicely and take up less room for storage. Yes, these cups probably stack more nicely than most of the measuring cup sets on the market, but they are nowhere near as nice as those old measuring cups I used as a child.
The other problem with these cups, a big problem that took me totally by surprise, is that they can not be set down flat on the counter and stay in place without tipping over. The handles are way too long, making them aesthetically pleasing, but functional only for the spoons, not for the cups. To make these cups stay upright, I cut all the handles off shorter. Especially on the smaller cups, I had to cut the handles quite short to make them anywhere near stable setting on a level surface. Even after this modification, they're still not as stable as those old Tupperware cups my mom still owns.
Although I rounded the cut edges and re-wrote the sizes with a permanent marker, the aesthetics of these cups is still obviously compromised. It had to be, to make them mostly functional. I dislike having to modify a brand-new product to make it work. The manufacturer should have thought of that. I can not recommend these measuring cups (but the spoons seem to be OK).
