All-Clad 59917 Stainless Steel Measuring Cups Cookware Set, 5-Piece, Silver

I am very impressed with these measuring cups, they are the best. You get what you pay for with these not being bendable at all, high end polished stainless steel and accurate measurements.I will never have to buy another set since these should last a lifetime.I highly recommend them.

Ordered a 5 piece set- got only 4. sad.

Excellent quality but seems a little too heavy, though not enough to reduce it by one star. These should last decades...

Build quality seems great. For me, it was a test-buy, as I intend to buy the cookware. And this purchase has put me on path to get 7/10 piece cookware set :)

I paid full price for these measuring cups so my review may or may not be nitpicky.These cups arrived in a single box, stacked inside each other with paper wrapped around each cup to protect the finish. These are very nice and sturdy. I like the weight. All the cups stack nicely with the handles together or staggered and are easy to separate. All cups, including the 1/4 cup sat flat on the counter top while empty so you don't have to worry about them tipping over.The 1/4 cup has a marking inside at the half way point showing 1/8 cup. The 1 cup has markings inside showing 1/4, 1/2 and 3/4 cup. The others don't have any interior markings.The handles are attached with two big rivets and feel very solid and secure. The handle for the 1/4 cup felt a little short to me. I would like it to be maybe 3/4 - 1" longer, but maybe that's why it doesn't tip over when empty.The box says these are 18/10 stainless steel. I hand washed and put these away. No rusting issues like some other reviews that are several years old. I'm disappointed that these are made in China when All-Clad likes to tout that all their other stuff is made in the USA. Maybe that's why they don't even list these cups on their website.Some people have asked if these could be used on the stove to melt butter or something similar. While they look like small pans, the metal is still pretty thin compared to an actual cooking pan. I have a "warming" section on my stove that I'd probably trust with the 1 cup size but I'm not so sure about the others.The instructions say these are dishwasher capable, so I'll be trying that out the next time I use them. Right now I'm very pleased with these. If anything changes after a lot of use, I'll update my review and describe any problems, but at nearly 10 times the price of a cheapo set from WalMart, I don't expect to have any issues.Minor update: I've run these through the dishwasher (top rack only) multiple times with no problems. So far I've had no issue with food getting stuck around the rivets on the inside of the cup, as another reviewer mentioned a while ago.Two minor complaints: 1. The holes in the handles are too small to fit through the prongs on the little rack I use to hang my measuring cups and spoons. I've had to stack these in the drawer for now. 2. The cups are tall and narrow, compared to my old set that was wider and more shallow. As such, it's harder to fill them when scooping out stuff like flour or sugar, if you're using a somewhat narrow container for your dry goods. If you're scooping out of a 5-gallon bucket you'll be fine, but otherwise you might need a spoon to top off the cup. If I could, I'd deduct 1/4 star for this inconvenience.5 year update: Hard to believe it's been 5 years since I bought these. I've washed these in the dishwasher countless times. No rust and the cups look the same as they did new. Still would like longer handles on the smaller cups though. Buying another set today as a wedding gift for someone who previously complemented me on my set.
