The Best Glass Measuring Cups of 2020– Top Rated and Reviews

You don’t need to measure all food by eye. With a measuring cup, you’ll never go wrong and all your meals will turn up just as they’ve been meant to. Look through the cups we’ve picked for our review and choose the one to your liking.

Best Dry Measures: Bellemain 6-Piece Stainless Steel Measuring Cup Set

This six-piece measuring cup set features two sizes that aren’t always included in basic sets—a 2/3 cup measure and a 3/4 cup measure. While it’s certainly possible to measure those amounts using other cups multiple times, it’s not convenient. The set also includes the more common 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1 cup measures, so you’ll always have the one you need.

These are made from 18/8 stainless steel and are designed to sit upright without tipping, so you can set them on the counter to pour ingredients into them or fill them ahead of time and set them aside until you need them. For storage, they nest easily, so they won’t take extra space in your cabinet or drawer.

These have both U.S. and metric sizes etched on the wide, easy-to hold-handles, so you can see at a glance which cup you have. There are no welds, and all the edges are smooth so you won’t run into anything sharp. When cooking is done, simply toss them in the dishwasher.

Made from durable, dent-proof plastic that won’t break if dropped, these measuring cups are lightweight and easy to handle. The large numbers in contrasting colors make it easy to see that you’ve got the right cup or spoon, and they’re easy to clean since they’re dishwasher safe.

This set includes 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, and 1 cup measuring cups, and measuring spoons in 1/8, 1/4, 1/2, and 1 teaspoon, and 1/2 and 1 tablespoon sizes.

Best Collapsible: Prepworks by Progressive Collapsible Measuring Cups

 

No matter how large a kitchen is, it seems like there’s never enough space for all the tools that are required. This set makes storage a little easier since the cups collapse to fit neatly, even into a shallow drawer. The storage ring keeps the cups together if you prefer.

Besides improving storage, the collapsing feature also makes it easy to push brown sugar or other stubborn foods out of the cup without needing to use a spoon or spatula.

The cups are available in assorted colors that brighten up your kitchen and make it easy to see which cup you’re using. The set includes 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 3/4 and 1 cup measures, and the cups also include metric measurements if you’re using non-U.S. recipes. These collapsible measuring cups are also dishwasher safe.​
