are the measuring cups accurate?

i haven't compared them to other measuring cups to confirm, but they look right.

Yes, as far as I know. I often use them while baking, and everything seems to turn out all right.

I gave them as a gift to my sister and she bakes all the time - so I would say yes - but I never did an actual measurement test :)

I'm not sure I they are accurate, but the bowls are so wonderful. This is all I use in my kitchen now. The two strainers are great and the big bowl is big enough for anything! I highly recommend this set.

My set is quite sturdy and sits flat. Only problem is the mis-stamped size on one of the cups...other than that, they are great.

I found them to be accurate. Keep in mind that all measuring products are never exact. However, my husband uses the metric system and he determined these were as accurate as any others we have.

Yes, these measuring cups are microwave and dishwasher safe. I've been using them that way for years, with no problems.

I don't know. I bought those as a gift and my daughter told me when she opened the box, all the cups were broken but the saucers were ok.

On the bottom of the measuring cup it says it is. Also I have used it to cook pudding in the microwave, worked fine.

The cups look just like they do in the picture. They are maybe a "semi translucent." You can see what is inside them.

Yes, the marking for the 1,2,3,4 cup measurements are in bold. These are the best measuring cups I have ever owned.

Hi, I doubt they do. The cups have been used for its indicated content (full cup only). However, if you may require other varieties of amount/measurements based on the universal scope of recipes, I do believe that you'll be able to find your cup - there are plenty of them to choose from...and I can measure almost anything! Hope this clarifies and serves as an aid to you.

No, I believe it's the halfway mark for each cup size. I recall checking once by pouring it into a regular measuring cup.

Yes. I use a bunch of different sizes of these and have used a scoop in each one. My scoops are always like 1/2 or 1 cup measure cups.

I found them to be accurate once they are filled all the way to the very top. In addition, each cup does double duty with a measuring line for the half measure. It is sturdy because it is all one piece, instead of welded handles. The measures are engraved so they won't rub off like cheaper types. The spouts help with pouring powders or liquids. Order them and enjoy!

Yes, the markings on the handles are easy to read. The individual cups themselves do not have markings.

No, they are just indentions and do not say anything on it. I took my measuring cup and filled it with water and poured it in and it was over the first mark, so the first mark is under 1 cup. Honestly I'm not sure why they are on there. Hope that helps!

No. This measuring cup (the 8 cup version) is so large that the first mark is 2 Cups! It's pretty low on the side, there's just that much volume from side to side.

So far, the measuring spoons have been fine for me, but the measuring cups rust very easily. This isn't specifically related to the dishwasher; the same thing happens when they are hand washed but left to air dry. The amazon.com listing says they are "stainless steel," but when they arrived, the label said they were "India steel," whatever that is. Not stainless, anyway, or they wouldn't have rusted.

Just measured hot coffee and cold water. It's gave me both measurements quickly and I have to assume its accurate.
