Yes, you can get china ones. I have melamine ones which suit me fine for the amount of times I use them. SOme people prefer stainless steel, although, be aware that you will pay alot more for stainless steel. I also have pyrex measuring jugs in various sizes which I find useful.

I've got measuring cups permanently in containers of flour, oats etc.It helps to have more than one set.

K Mart have lovely strong melamine ones, lovely colours - very cheap, I think only about $2.00 per set.

I find the Pyrex ones are excellent for all round use including use in microwave. Have 4 different sizes; 1 cup with all the main measures, 2 cup with the slightly larger measures and so on with the 4 and 8 cup.
The 4 and 8 cup ones are great also as an alternative toa small mixing bowl and all are oven and microwave proof.
Wondering if there are any pyrex type measuring spoons though, be great if they have the similar measure markings.
Cheers.

SOOOOOOOOOOO Cute! Didn't realise they had 2/3 and 3/4 cups too. Do they go in the dishwasher!

I have tupperware, had them for years, and yes mine go in the dishwasher. If buying fromkmart, check out they are NZ measures not Australian, there is a difference.

I bought stainless ones from Foodtown for $14.95 in 2005. They are great and don't stain or harbour smells. Come in 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 & 1 cup measures. Not fussed about not having 2/3 or 3/4 cups as I know how to add!

2/3 and 3/4 cups are very handy if you do alot of baking like me.

You can but I wouldn't recommend it since mine are now not quite as white as they should be - have kind of a yellow tinge but they're still cute!

Is there!I thought cup measurements were standard but Australian tablespoon is 20ml instead of 15ml - I use mine for Australian and New Zealand recipes without a problem
