All-Clad 59917 Stainless Steel Measuring Cups / Set of 5 Kitchen Accessories, Silver

Would give ZERO stars
Just like several other reviewers, my All-Clad cups rusted before I even got a chance to use them. Hand washed them with warm soapy water. Placed them on a rack to dry. Came back and they were RUSTED. This is ALL-CLAD for God's sake. ALL-CLAD!!! How dare they put their name on this junk. I am a professional cook and have a great deal of respect for all-clad, but after seeing this complete trash they're selling for near $50, I lost a great deal of respect for them.

Go with the MIU cups. At least those didn't rust on me before I even used them. In fact they've held up for years, have a warranty, and save you about $20. Don't even consider these. Seriously.

Awesome
You may be asking yourself "why do I need to spend this much on measuring cups?" And to that I don't have a good answer. But I got mine for Christmas and they're awesome. They're incredibly sturdy. I have a whole drawer full of cheap metal and plastic measuring cups that are either bent or broken. I don't think these will ever meet that fate.

Inside each measuring cup are measurement marks for the lesser measurements. For example, the 1 C measuring cup has a line where the 1/2 C mark is.

The only real disadvantage is that they don't stack too well.

"apples and oranges"
First off, the cups are excellent; heavy weight cast stainless and very nicely finished, but these come out of the same Chinese factories that produce dozens of other brands under contract and you can get the same quality level for half this price if you're willing to give up the All-Clad name. If you must have this brand be aware of the marketing strategies at work here. This set from amazon is about $50 (at the time of this writing) and contains 5 cups of "mixed" sizes (1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 2/3 cup, and 1 cup). A 4 cup set (available at Williams-Sonoma for $30) contains the 1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 3/4 cup and 1 cup selection. W-S also carries a combo set for $39 that includes the 4 cups and the matching 4 measuring spoon set. Figure on about $9 W-S shipping and you're looking at 5 mixed sized cups from amazon or 4 cups and 4 spoons from W-S. W-S also carries another set of the odd size cups and spoons as an add-on for $30.

Ultimately I got the CIA set instead, but...
