I have had these for about a year now, and do like them. My only minor complaint is that they do not rest upright when empty – the weight of the handle when they are empty causes them to rest at an angle, and makes them difficult to fill when pouring into them one-handed.

I’m sure we got these for cheaper than the ones shown here – we can’t afford $25 – but we’ve had them for months and I love them. I don’t know why, but we don’t lose these measuring cups nearly as often as our stacking measuring cups. They do fit much more nicely into our drawer, and they save time because you don’t have to constantly restack the cups – you just clean and fold the cup you were using and lay them in the drawer.

I've got this collapsable collander: http://preview.tinyurl.com/2wlz9k And this collapsable funnel: http://preview.tinyurl.com/2qmjs5 They may seem expensive, but I live in a tiny Manhattan apartment with badly designed kitchen cabinets, and every little bit of space-saving helps.

It might be just me, but it seems that if you take into account that regular measuring cups stack inside each other, this really doesn’t save you much space. At least, not enough to justify that they cost $5.25 each.

We own these and the collapsible collander (two types, actually). I just yesterday saw collapsible mixing bowls. Will be getting those immediately.

I recently purchased these, and a matching set of the swivel spoons at my local grocery store. (Sleek Store swivel spoons on Amazon). I haven't had a chance to use the cups yet, but both of these items seem to be very well crafted, and I get a kick out of how much space is saved.

If you don’t have access to collapsing cups, nesting the smaller ones in the larger shouldn’t take up too much more space though.

I guess you can install a hook and hang them. Since kitchens usually have more cabinets than drawers, it can be even more practical this way.

I totally dig these! Mine drive me nutty because they’re always in the way of the drawer closing. Thanks for the tip!

@Andrea – Silicone is incredibly durable and can stand high heat, I would imagine that they’ll wear quite well. I don’t have a set but, like you, I have other utensils. We’ve been keeping an eye on these at our local kitchen supply store and they just might end up as a holiday gift to ourselves

Does anyone own a set? I have no silicone kitchen products, and wonder how they wear… do they stain? Will they collapse if you knock them hard (and spill the ingredient in them all over the counter)?

This would be SO great for camping and RVs or for anyone with a small space!

Found your blog from LifeRemix. Great, practical stuff here! Now maybe I can actually close my kitchen drawer!
