Amco Advanced Performance Measuring Cup Set Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Several years back I bought a set of Amco stainless steel measuring cups that look identical to how these do. I needed another set, so I bought them here, thinking they were the same.
They're not.
My original set is decently heavy (if I get a chance, I'll update this post with the difference in grams), heavy enough for even the 1/4 cup to stand freely and level on its circular base.
The handles on my original set are heavy duty and cannot be bent.
This set's 1/4 cup doesn't stand freely on its own. It tips onto its handle, and its handle can be bent.
In short, they're lower quality, but if you've never owned a set, maybe that won't bother you.
Additionally, in my opinion, these stainless steel cups are much better than the average plastic cups for baking. The handles are designed better for scooping things like flour, and I really like having the markings for when I want to use the 1 cup measurer to measure, say, a half cup. I find stainless steel is easier to clean up too and they never melt and crack in the dishwasher like I've had plastic cups do.
Meanwhile, I'm still searching for a set that's as high quality as my original Amco cups...
