OXO Good Grips 1-Cup Angled Measuring Cup Review
OXO Good Grips 1-Cup Angled Measuring Cup Feature
- Patented angled calibrations permit reading from above
- Standard and metric calibrations
- Slip-resistant handle
- Safe to use in dishwasher
- OXO products have a satisfaction guarantee
A brilliant innovation, this 1-cup measuring vessel is not round but oval. That means calibrations are printed on the cup's sides, as is conventional, as well as on a patented guide inside the cup that's angled so it can be read from above. The result is that this cup doesn't have to be held up--or bent down to--in order to determine how much liquid it contains. While Oxo guarantees satisfaction with a money-back guarantee, there's no reason to return this product. It's better than any other measuring cup. Moreover, it has a slip-resistant handle for when hands are wet, and it's made of rugged, dishwasher-safe plastic, with calibrations in both standard measurements and metric.

Why keep bending over and struggling to see the measurements on your measuring cup? With this angled measuring cup by OXO, measuring out precise amounts of liquids has become more ergonomic, less time consuming, and easy. Ingeniously designed, the measurements, which are both in standard and metric units, are imprinted within the cup at an angle, facing upward. This allows you to clearly see the measurement marks while standing, without bending over and struggling to level the mark with your eye. The measurements are also printed on the side, like a traditional measuring cup, for those who have old habits. It is made of transparent and durable glass, and has a stylishly-accenting black handle that is non-slip and soft of the hands.
OXO was founded on the philosophy of Universal Design, which is the concept of designing products that are easy to use for the largest possible spectrum of users. In the case of OXO, it means designing products for young and old, male and female, left- and right- handed and many with special needs. These ergonomically- designed, trans-generational tools set a new standard for the industry and raised the bar of consumer expectation for comfort and performance.
