It's been hand washed with mild detergent, so not sure what's going on.usually Oxo has great build quality and forethought. Worked good for a few weeks, but the measurements have flaked off after just a few uses.
I would rather buy a pyrex cup that will last my lifetime intead of something like this that I will have to throw away every two years. I recieved mine as a gift two years ago. Last month, mine cracked and now leaks at the bottom.
Comfortable handle, light-weight, cleans easily. The only think that could make these products better is if they were made of Pyrex. This is a great measuring cup. I have a 4-cup, 2-cup, and 1-cup, and a set of three of the small 1/4 cup tablespoon measures, which are worlds better than using measuring spoons for small amounts of liquid. What a dream that would be. It has every measurement you could want clearly printed on it. No more bending over to see if you're hitting the right measurement.
I haven't noticed any problems with certain fats, although I might not have used them in there yet. She felt more confident on pouring because she could see if she had enough or not, before she over poured. I will always keep a pyrex in the house though. i like these cups for being able to see what you need from the top, instead of setting it down on the counter to settle out or holding it up in the air. Also, these features were especially helpful for my 8 yr old to use.
It saves me a trip to the water cooler (yes, I actually have a Hinckley Springs water cooler with Purified Drinking Water.primarily for drinking, but it helps make GREAT coffee).One other thing: I find that it pours perfectly well. I've had the other sizes that OXO offers for some time. I've found that the glass Pyrex measuring cups (which I use for those "other" liquids and if I'm microwaving) don't pour well. One reviewer said it didn't. As another reviewer notes, you can't use certain things with it, but for measuring everyday, standard liquids, its great. I use it for measuring the water for my coffee.
