Genuine Fred M-CUPS Matryoshka Measuring Cups, Set of 6, Russian Doll Nesting Measuring Cups, White

Bought as a gift. Not sure how accurate the cups are but they are super cute sitting out on my mother in laws kitchen counter. Easy to use and clean. Good size and sturdy. Overall nice quality v

These are cute little baking cups and I love putting them back together after hand washing. They seem so delicate and light weight that I don’t want to break them. The measurement is a little accurate, but the best accuracy is using a scale to measure your ingredients. I bought this for my son’s kitchen, but when I visited I had the privilege of using them. It is a little difficult to read the measurements, but once I figured it out, I didn’t have a problem. The price is great especially when you have someone who wants to have fun in the kitchen.

I am not using these as measuring cups, so I can't say if they are functional for their intended purpose.Instead I am using them as snack containers/salad topping containers.I put salad dressing inside the smallest one. It fits perfectly into my salad container, holds the perfect amount of dressing, and keeps the dressing separate from the lettuce, decreasing the chances of wilting.The medium one can be used to hold dip for celery sticks and baby carrots.I put nuts, "bacon" bits, dried fruits, and/or gummies (in baggies to keep the flavours separate) inside the biggest one.I usually fill the "heads" of the dolls with dip/dressing, and then snap the bottom on, since the "heads" are the larger measurement. It's not that easy to see the measurements, since they are white on white, but that has nothing to do with what I am using them for, so it's not a concern.For reference:The largest doll is made of the 1C and 3/4CThe medium doll is made of the 2/3C and 1/2CThe smallest doll is made of the 1/3C and 1/4CThey are very cute, and do not take away from my kitchen's decor while sitting on the counter waiting patiently to be filled. They do snap together pretty securely and haven't burst open on me yet, but I would also not recommend putting them into a purse or bag that is going to get ruined if the contents spill.These are definitely not for unsupervised small children, since the edges of the "heads" can be a little sharp, but an older child might enjoy them.I wash mine by hand.If you're curious as to what kind of measuring cups I actually use, I have the collapsible ones that just lay flat in the drawer when not being used.

So cute and useful, too!

I almost didn't buy these because of some of the reviews mentioning these cups make your hands messy and having sticky hands when I cook is really a pet peeve of mine. I already easily wash my hands 3 or 4 times when baking. So I was having an internal battle of "Ugh I'll be washing my hands even more" countered by "but they're sooo cute and they'll save room too!" After a while it dawned on me, I'm pretty sure I don't actually scoop directly from most containers, brown and white sugar is the only exception I could come up with off hand. You aren't actually supposed to collect flour, confectioner's sugar or anything else that settles a great deal by scooping directly with the measuring cup, you're actually supposed to spoon the flour (or other similar ingredient) into the cup and then level it off. Which pretty much means handles aren't exactly necessary. I know many new and old baker's alike don't know of this method, I know I didn't until I was told by an instructor many years ago, Yes it is a tad slower to do it this way but it results in more consistent baking, because as a product settles you're obviously scooping denser cups, which throws off recipes, this method helps eliminate "I don't know why it didn't turn out the same as his/hers/the last time I made it, I used the exact same recipe!"I've been baking like a fiend since the hit of fall weather, and have used these cups exclusively since they arrived in the mail. I do keep a handled 1 cup measuring cup in with my granulated sugar, and then for recipes calling for a lesser amount I break out the correct matryoshka and just pour the sugar into it and level off. I like that the heads have a little flat spot on top, so you can sit the cup down for whatever reason and they won't fall over, they aren't QUITE as stable as a standard measuring cup but I've yet to spill one over and I'm pretty accident prone lol.If you're thinking of getting these I'd say don't hesitate, they are absolutely adorable, they do save a buttload of space in my cabinet and I've gotten many compliments on them in the few short weeks I've had them. I love them so much I plan on buying them as gifts this holiday for a few fellow bakers in my life!

These are for my child in college who has a modest kitchen. They needed measuring cups that don’t take up space, are easy to use and clean, and these are perfect for them. As a college student, I don’t expect them to need anything super accurate, but these are just as accurate as my fancy set. They have the added benefit of being absolutely adorable as well, so overall this was a good buy.

I ordered these as gifts for some of family and friends who like to bake. Fun and convenient to store.

Bought this for my wife she loves it they're cute and very accurate measurements.
