  • attractive but flawed design Ive had this cup for a couple of years. I like the premise and the measuring method. However the design has one major flaw which makes the cup really irritating and undercuts its accuracy. That is the fact that it does not pour properly. Unless you are measuring into a large container and hold the cup over the container when pouring it will spill quite a considerable amount. I think its because the white ring runs too close to the pour spout resulting in liquid flowing over a wider part of the rim. Last night daughter and I were measuring alcohol for liqueurmaking and pouring the measured alcohol from the cup into wide rimmed canning jars. In every case quite a lot of liquid spilled onto the table there was no way to pour in a small stream from this cup. So be careful when using this or your recipe may be compromised.
    It's a plastic cup I love the concept of looking down and seeing the volume gradient but I find that in practice I don't use it that much because it's plastic and I wont use it in the microwave I often use measuring cups to mix things in and because of the ridge on the inside of the cup that's a bit awkward.
    A Must. The design is fantastic it really makes measuring incredibly easy. This thing is pretty much a must for any kitchen.
    poor pouring Yes this item is convenient at measuring liquids. However it sucks at pouring liquids. No matter how careful I am liquids spill out the sides onto the counter. I ONLY use it for measuring solids. There must be a better allrounds measuring cup.
    Cool Measuring Cup After reading all the reviews that are somewhat dated I decided to check the measuring accuracy and found it fine. Perhaps it's been improved over the last couple years. This is perfect for everyday use for me sans boiling hot liquids. I personally prefer glass for the boiling liquids. Thank you OXO.
    Hairline crack formed A hairline crack formed in a star formation centered on the bottom of the cup.At this price expecting it to last longer than 2 yrs.
    OXO Loves Senior Citizens Nice to be able to use a measuring cup without adding deleting adding etc. You don't have to hold the cup to the light to see if you've got the right measurement and it doesn't matter if you've got a shakey handgreat for any age. Highly recommend the 2 cup as an overall perfect size.
    One trick pony I had hopes that this would help me measure more accurately than the old style cups with the measuring lines on the side. This is more convenient to use because you can measure from a normal standing position. No squatting to see the measure and having the water or any liquid source above your head. I usually measure water from a filtered pitcher.I use ounce measures all the time. But like almost all cups this size the ounce measures are in 2 ounce groupings. To measure out 19 ounces is totally by estimate. It is not a question of getting the liquid up to the line there is no line. This is like having quarter cups as the smallest measure. This cup is no better a tool for accurate measure than any other cup.One more issue. If you are pouring liquid slowly from this cup you will have a problem as you get to the bottom. The liquid will not flow smoothly. The measuring ridge will impede the flow of liquid making it harder to use this for pouring.This is a limited use toy. You can measure in it. But if you need to mix something into the liquid you need to pour the liquid into another vessel. If pouring slowly or precisely you need to pour from something other than this. I use this cup strictly to measure water which I then pour into something else where I can mix to do whatever.
    Doesn't last This is the second one of these I have owned. This one lasted just a little over a year. The bottom cracks and it leaks. I did put it in the dishwasher and really don't want a baking tool that can not be put in the dishwasher. I thought it said dishwasher safe. Back to a glass measuring cup for me. I have owned and used some of those for 30 years.
    Handle broke off after 1 fall from counter to floor I purchased this measuring cup with great expectations which were quickly shattered by a fall from the kitchen counter onto the floor. The handle broke off the measuring cup when it hit the floor. I also agree with other reviewers that this measuring cup does not handle fats very well and its spout does not pour very well.

  • Bowl capacity Aprox. 10 ml / 1 table spoon
  • 6-3/4 inch long ---- 1-3/4 inch wide at bowl
  • Dot design on the tip (Alpha collection)

  • Happy with my Spoons! First thank you to everyone who takes the time to write a review. Your reviews helped me make the decision to buy these spoons.Second the spoons are great! After searching for some time in local stores I went online and purchased them in June 2010 for $36.37. These spoons have a classic look and are wellproportioned and balanced. The bowl size is not too big for a petite person like me yet big enough for the guys in my family. The spoons are shiny and clean well by hand or in the dishwasher. I would buy them again but 12 are enough for now. Packaging and shipping were great as well. I hope this review is helpful to a future buyer.
    Soup Spoons We were unable to locate round soup spoons in local stores. We purchased this set onthe Web and they were just what we wanted.
    They are okay After reading all of the reviews I was a little disappointed. The spoons are light shallow and huge. I kept them but am still on the lookout for a nicer set.
    classic and hard to find How frustrating is it when you know exactly what you are looking for and can't find it? I enjoy cooking and serving soups bisques and stews. I don't enjoy having to eat them with a teaspoon or worse yet a tablespoon. What is up with tablespoons these days anyway? They've gotten so large I can use them as serving spoons! Shame on all the stores that claim to carry kitchen supplies but have forgotten the unique and irreplaceable soup spoon. Shallow round perfect for moving any liquid from the bowl to the mouth. That is what these spoons are and I'm thrilled that I found them.
    great spoons I really love the soup spoons. I've been looking for spoons like this for awhile. The only down side to them was the cost of shipping. The price was almost as much as the spoons themselves. You did have to order the minimum which was one dozen. I am satisfied with my order overall.
    Unsatisfactory This is the first item I have had to return. I did so because it was not as I expected based on the reviews it had received online prior to ordering. The spoons were made in China. The bowls of the spoons were shallow and in trying one the metal made my tongue tingle and tasted odd.Maybe I received something other than those ordering previously. I cannot recommend these. One last point the vendor shipping these did not comply with the Prime agreement of 2 day shipping.
    Great spoons I was skeptical when I ordered them thinking that they were going to be cheap quality because the price was so low but was pleasantly surprised when I received them just a few days after ordering them. These spoons are great! They are very nice quality and simple enough to match up to any set.
    Flat soup spoons useless I have been searching for round/deep soup spoons and my search must continue. These are almost flat and hold VERY LITTLE volume.
    Super Spoons! I absolutely love these spoons! I have been looking forever for a great soup spoons like these. They're just impossible to find in almost every store I looked. The quality of these spoons where far greater than I expected. Very shiney sleek and regal looking. These are a great value as well. I may have to order another set.
    Soup Spoon was OK I expected the bowl of the spoon to be a little deeper but it works well for soup. I love that it is wider then a standard spoon or a standard soup spoon.

    RSVP Stainless Steel Double Spoon Rest. 7" Read more...

  • 18/8 Stainless steel
  • 6 1/4" W x 7" L, 1 1/2 mm thick
  • Dishwasher safe

  • Does the trick! This gadget is easy to clean and looks nice. My wife likes to joke that it was originally designed to rest other things than spoons but this is a great tool for the kitchen.
    Handsome Spoon Rest Very handsome looking spoon rest. The shiny stainless steel looks polished in our kitchen. We throw it in the dishwasher every few days to keep it looking sparking. Very happy with this purchase.
    Spoon rest I really like this spoon rest. It is large enough to fit two good sized spoons. It is easy to clean and can be put in the dishwasher.
    Good spoon rest This double spoon rest is a good buy because its easy to use easy to clean by hand or dishwasher and it has right surface area to rest two table or cookware spoons. Being made of steel you can be rest assured that it does not have lead or any other harmful ceramic substances that can leak into food when hot spoons are rested on it.
    Giggle away but don't miss this quality spoon rest We used ceramic spoon rests but every one of them ultimately snapped at the handle's curve. We would glue them back together and limp along until we replaced it with another ceramic. This time around we chose RSVP for the security and practicality stainless steel offers.As for the doublespoon designyes yes we saw it too. We have two sons ages 9 and 8. It took them no less than a minute to break out into uncontrolled laughter when we pulled the RSVP spoon rest out of the box. Depending on which side you are viewing it looks very much like a stainless steel baby's bottom or a shiny pair of cattle testicles. I highly doubt you could place this on the Thanksgiving dinner table without eliciting a chuckle from one distant relative.Laughs aside the spoon rest has several excellent qualities. Surprisingly thin and light it escapes being a cumbersome paperweight while still providing a sturdy rest for spoons spatulas and ladles our favorite being the
    Works perfectly It looks very nice and does what it is built to do. The best part is I no longer have to wipe off my stove top after I cook because of dirty smudges left behind from me setting the stirring spoon on it.
    great but design could be improved works great but if the end of it was a bit flat then it is would make it scratch free. You don't want to push it around with its current design on the counter top and that would not cause you any harm but may be a few scratch marks if you put lot of force.
    Great When this came It was larger than expected but it's easy to clean and I love using it. it does take up a lot of space if sitting on the stove but I don't mind because it's enough room to put more than two pieces of silverware on.
    Quality holder for the money We had a plastic one that cracked on us. This time we wanted Stainless because it lasts forever! Easy to clean and does the job well.
    Just ok. After reading all the great reviews I purchased this last week and had high expectations. There is nothing wrong with the item but it's certainly not as great as what most of the reviews say. While it does hold two utensils it appears to be made to hold two standard size utensils i.e fork table spoon . . and not two large utensils i.e. a ladle and wooden spoon . . which is what I was looking for. I'll probably give this to one of my nieces and continue looking for something that will better accomodate two large cooking/serving utensils.
