The only thing those are good for is being able to "pinch" them so as to pour such as flour into a beaters- running mixer bowl sparingly to avoid showering dry ingredients about. For that one good-to-buy-em feature, just spend a couple dollars on a flexible cutting mat, or spoon in the drys. .....Picky |

Hey! Aren't they silicone like silicone gloves and hot pads? I do worry about the ability to stand up to an immersion blender. Lynn in Fargo |

I don't nest any of them anymore, and the one I want is invaribly always on the bottom. I use the B cup most, C cup next, then the D cup... I use the A cup least... anyone considering a set could easily live without the A cup (like no one needs an A cup bra either). The D cup makes a great mixing/storage bowl... with my KA hand mixer I don't need a stand mixer. |

I have to wonder if they are flexible enough to form spouts to pour if they might also get accidentally squished and slop the contents before you are ready to pour. I would not be without my 2 cup Pyrex measuring cup, but I also have a one cup stainless and a set of nesting cups in a ring with 1, 1/2, 1/3, 1/4 and 1/8 cup size that are great for measuring out packed brown sugar. |

And I'd think the hotter the contents the more those cups would distort, probably even squish right out of your hand as you try to hold onto it by gripping it tighter. To me they're not just silly, they very dangerous. I have some silicone scrapers/spatulas. I know they become far more piable when using them with warm/hot ingredients, in fact that's why I only use them with room temperature/cold ingredients. Pyrex measuring cups have been around a long time, I don't think anyone will come up with something better for an even longer time, probably never. I have a set of dry measure cups (Rubbermaid), they're pretty thick white plastic and have nice sized handles, they all nest... I rarely use them... I have the ring of measuring spoons to match, don't use those either (good toddler toys). These cups and spoons came with some kitchen stuff set I got for opening a bank account, too long ago to remember. It's very rare that I measure anything when cooking... I have bionic eyes and hands. Mostly I use my Pyrex measuring cups to heat stuff in the microwave, to store loftovers, and as mixing bowls. I always know exactly the right amount of ingredients to add to a pot regardless how large, when it's full... the very first thing I choose when cooking soups and stews is the size pot. |
