I was first attracted to this interesting measuring cup by the unusual shape. Once I tried to use it, however, it was a really worthless measuring cup. I suggest that you not buy it.It has a tall, slender shape that is top-heavy and easy to knock over, even if you are being careful. It has weight markings for sugar and flour, but trying to measure dry ingredients in a liquid measuring cup is very inaccurate, so these markings are worthless. The label claims to be microwave safe, but it is made from polycarbonate and I have melted similar items in my microwave before. I do not plan to test the microwave safety of this cup. Since it does not have a handle, once you fill it with hot liquid you cannot pick it up with your bear hands.All in all, a badly designed product that you should avoid.
