My review comes 5 years later. Yes, it took me a while to finally review this product! When I first moved out on my own as a college student I bought many measuring cup sets from Walmart for a dollar. They faired alright but, after many washings the measurements gradually faded, and the plastic edges became rough. Only needing for me to replace them 6 months to a year later. Which added up to some money that I got tired of just wasting. So, I finally searched Amazon for what my a Chef Quality measuring cup. I came across RSVP and I'm so so happy I did. I bought several sets and decided I need something bigger than the typical 1 cup because I had grown tired of my glass measure cups as well (the numbers disappeared). The 1.5 cup is really a wonderful measuring cup. It is strong enough to be heated on the stove for chocolate or a stick of butter. I've put everything from water, sugar, onions, to oil in it. After 5 years it still looks like it is nearly new. I haven't cared for it any special manner other than tossing it in the dishwasher. I can still clearly read the etched numbers and wording on the cup. Which I love. I've saved a tons of money buy purchasing these, and I am so glad I did. Its worth the price and it pays for it with time. If I kept up with plastic cups I would of bought lets say 3 sets a year. Lets say they're a $1.00 a peice. In 5 years that would be $15.00 meaning this product really has paid for itself and will continue from every year forward. Additionally, I don't see myself needing to replace it any time soon. I have added more cups to my collection. I rather pay for quality.
