Customer Reviews of Progressive International Silicone Measuring Cups
Customer Rating:  Summary: Easy Storage Comment: This is a nice little measuring cup set that is easy to store because the containers nest together. You do need to hold them when u fill them with flour or milk, etc. because they will tip over; they're kind of soft and flexible, but I don't mind that. They're also easy to find in your drawer, because they're colorful. AND they would make great toys for small children and babies to play with. Customer Rating: Summary: silicone measuring cups Comment: These are easy to handle and use. They are especially useful when you need to heat a small amount of something before adding it to the mixture--like chocolate or butter--because they are microwave and oven safe. Customer Rating:  Summary: So-so, and very spillable Comment: These are not as great as I thought they would be. The colors are muddy-looking, not nice and bright as they are in the photo. The silicone does not seem to be of as high quality as other silicone products I have. Something about the texture and relative thinness just seems cheap, almost as if the silicone is a bit porous. (I haven't used it enough yet to figure out whether it holds odors, though.) Most significantly, the small base makes these cups VERY easy to tip over. I had hoped to use them when traveling, to do double duty in serving pudding, dipping sauces, etc., but they are just too tippable for that. I wish somebody would come out with a higher-quality set of stackable silicone measuring cups with more stable bases, classier colors and heavier-weight silicone, with a smooth (not pebbly) interior. Customer Rating: Summary: More Silicone Comment: These bowls are what they are. They are made ok, but I really don't know why I bought them. I guess I prefer using the stainless ones. Customer Rating: Summary: Nice to have around Comment: They are stackable, so they are super easy to store. I love the bright, fun colors, and they are also easy to clean. Some people say not to throw them in the dishwasher because they are small, but I pinch the smaller ones in my silverware caddy, and I've never had a problem. They come out clean and pop open to their normal shape. I found these are really useful when I make recipes involving 10 zillion ingredients, all in quite small amounts. Plus, it's just handy to have these things around. More Reviews 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 & 1 cup capacities, made of silicone, which is heat resistant up to 600°F. Flexible square design makes it easy to remove even the most difficult ingredients, such as shortening. Cups are easy- pour as corner forms a pour spout. Measurements are embossed on the inside and bottom of each cup for easy reference: Features: Flexible for easy removal. corner forms easy pour spout. dishwasher safe , top rack. 
Choosing Appliance -> Strainers We recommend 2 strainers for every kitchen. The first is a solid stainless steel colander (one big enough to wash a lot of lettuce at once). The second strainer is a fine mesh conical strainer (called a chinois) which is a must for any serious sauce or stock making. A chinois is an expensive purchase, but with care it will last many years. Choosing Appliance -> Do I need a dishwasher? If you enjoy washing by hand, no! However modern machines use less water, detergent and power than ever before and wash hotter using really powerful cleaners giving a hygienic wash result. You can save around 500 hours a year so it is worth thinking about. If you have a small kitchen or live alone, choose a slimline model. Progressive International Silicone Measuring Cups
