How we picked these products
We relied heavily on our own experience with measuring cups in addition to online product ratings and reviews. We made sure to include measuring cups for wet and dry ingredients and those with different features and functionalities—from material and size to versatility. Keep in mind, many measuring cups for dry ingredients will also work for wet ingredients, although they may not be as easy to use.

While the KitchenAid Classic Measuring Cups might be our value pick, they are made to last—I've been using mine daily for years. And, because you'll be using your set for years to come, you won't have to worry about the measurement markings rubbing off, because these are raised versus printed.
This set contains 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, and 1-cup measuring cups with both standard and metric measurements.
