Progressive International Silicone Measuring Cups

 (14 customer reviews)

These wouldn't be my first or only choice as measuring cups. The bottom of each container tapers, so they are not as stable as they could easily have been. Because of that, I generally don't use them for liquids. Since they nest, they take up little space, and the bright colors make them easy to find in a drawer.

They can also do double duty as prep bowls for mis en place. (Amazon carries both the NorPro and Progressive silicone pinch bowls.) These are also good for learning to measure out standard portions of solid foods.

Like the silicone pinch cups, they can double as toys for visiting babies and toddlers.

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.

These silicone measuring cups are great! I love use them to measure foods and I also use them for little snacks for my toddler. She loves them because they are so colorful. I love them because they are so flexible and easy to clean.
