The AMCO Advanced measuring cups and spoons are great. They are made with high quality thick 18/10 stainless steel. The steel is more than 1 mm thick, so they are heavy and sturdy. Each cup or spoon is made from a single-piece steel (no weld nor seam), so it is very easy to clean - a simply wipe will do. The size/volume markings are engraved into the metal, so they will not fade. I have uploaded a picture of a 1-cup for customer image. These tools should last you a lifetime.
Comparing to typical measuring cups, these cups are shorter and wider, which allow them to balance nicely on a flat surface. The ends of the spoon handles are bended downward, so the spoons can sit nicely on a flat surface. This comes handy from time to time, more so for cooking than baking - in my experience.
I feel there is a need to address some of the negative reviews here. While I agree with many of them, I do not experience some of the more detrimental ones.
I find my cups and spoons to be reasonably accurate. I used a graduating cylinder to measure the 1 cup because its filled weight exceeds the limit of the analytical balance. For the 1 cup which should equal to 236mL, I measured a volume of ~222mL. This is a -6% deviation. For the rest of the cups and spoons, I filled them with water and poured the water into a container for weight measurement. The weight is then converted back to volume via "1 gram of water = 1 mL of water". (These measurements were acquired from an analytical scale in a laboratory. These analytical scales are routinely calibrated and are more accurate than the typical kitchen scales.)
For the ½ cup (118mL), I measured a volume of 111.5mL (a -6% deviation).
For the 1/3 cup (79mL), I measured 84.8mL (+7%).
For the ¼ cup (59mL), I measured 61.8mL (+5%).
For the 1 tablespoon (15 mL), I measured 14.0mL (-7%).
For the 1 teaspoon (5mL), I measured three times and the averaged volume is 4.7mL (-6%).
For the ½ teaspoon (2.5mL), I measured 2.5mL (0%).
For the ¼ teaspoon (1.25mL), I measured 1.4mL (+12%).
Specifically, the 1 teaspoon measurement was repeated three times. The individual results were: 5.2mL, 4.5mL, and 4.3mL. This illustrates the variability introduced by a user -- human error. These cups and spoons appear to be adequate for ~10% accuracy.
I find the cups and spoons have smooth surface, and did not find any rough edge or surface as mentioned by other reviewers.
Now I will confirm some of the negative reviews. Yes, these cups and spoons are heavier than any I have seen. They are about 2-3 times heavier. Due to the fact that the cups are wider, you may also have difficulty to get them into containers with small opening. This is especially so for the 1-cup, which is 3-7/8 inches wide (I have upload a customer picture of it). Because the cups are shorter and wider, the potential for measurement error is higher. Imagine you have a tall bottle and a flat bowl. If you are 1 cm off from filling up the tall bottle, the relative error will be minor. However, if you are 1 cm off from filling up the flat bowl, the relative error will be large. Since these cups are about ½ the height of other cups, the potential human error is about 2-fold higher. One may say, these cups and spoons are technically accurate, but the potential human error is magnified.
*Update on Jun 26, 2010* Everything is working fine. Nothing is broken.
1) Quality construction. Yes, they are most likely “stamped" from sheet metal but the quality of these is head-and-shoulders above the ones you might find in the “dorm supply" area of Wal-Mart. These things are made from heavy duty stainless steel that is nearly 1/8" thick!
2) Attention-to-detail. As more and more things are made in China, it seems like quality has generally taken a backseat to the “lowest price at any cost" mentality in manufacturing. For those of us that are willing to pay a little more to regain that lost quality, it's very refreshing to find a product like this. All of the potential rough/sharp areas created during the stamping process have been thoughtfully dispatched and replaced with smooth edges. The bowl area of each spoon has been polished to a mirror-like shine and the label (showing measurement) on each handle looks as if it were laser engraved!
3) Durability. I chose to wait until I had used these for a while before posting this review because, to me, durability is the most important factor in any kitchen-related purchase and I wanted to really put them through their paces prior to posting this review. I now feel as though I've done just that. These have been hand-washed, run through the dishwasher, left sitting in a sink full of dirty dishwater for a couple of days, and one of them was missing for a while... found when the garbage disposal was turned on! How have they handled the rigors of our busy and occasionally neglectful kitchen? In a word. Beautifully! Yes, even the one in the disposal. It came out seemingly unscathed! These things are the epitome of durable.
Would I buy them again? Absolutely. Should you buy them? They should already be in your cart!
Pros:
- They look really nice.
- Great quality stainless steel. I have no concerns with them bending whatsoever.
- Pieces have a nice weight to them.
- The shape of the spoon is perfect for measuring, even at the smallest 1/4 tsp size.
- Dishwasher safe. I washed them a couple of times now with now problems.
Cons:
- The ring the spoons came with didn't clamp on properly, but not a problem for me since I don't use the ring. The measuring cups i bought had the same ring and that one was fine. So maybe it was just a faulty ring on mine.
- I wish it was a 6 pc. i wouldn't mind paying extra for the 1/8th tsp and 1/2 tbs
Overall I am very happy with my purchase. I don't see how anyone wouldn't like this set unless the cons i mentioned are deal breakers for you.
