How Many Scoops Make 2/3 Cup Depends on the Best Measuring Cups

1. Spring Chef Stainless Steel Measuring Cups and Spoons Set of 14 with Leveler — Best Overall

One of only two sets on the page with a 2/3 cup, a 3/4 cup and a 3/4 teaspoon, and the one that says its markings are engraved.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the fullest size range on the page that also says how its markings are made. The cup bullet reads: “Complete, Accurate Set of 7 Cups with Pour Spout: 1/8 cup, 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 2/3 cup, 3/4 cup, and 1 cup plus a ring.” The spoon bullet lists “1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 3/4 tsp, 1 tsp, 1 Tbsp plus Leveler and ring”. That is thirteen measures. Eight of the other nine listings stop at the standard sizes or add one odd size; the Simply Gourmet does not name its sizes at all.

The odd sizes are the reason to buy it. A 2/3 cup otherwise means two fills of the 1/3 cup, and a 3/4 cup means the 1/2 plus the 1/4. Every extra fill is another chance to pack flour differently or spill a little sugar off the top. The 3/4 teaspoon does the same job for baking powder and salt, where a small error matters more. The 1/8 teaspoon, a pinch in measure form, is here too. Only the TILUCK stainless set and the two Spring Chef sets list one.

The markings are the kind that last. “Engraved U.S. and metric measurement markings that are easy to read and won’t fade or rub off like plastic.” That one line covers two things the page splits on. Seven listings say engraved or etched, and six give metric, but only four say both: this set, the Simply Gourmet, the THLHKD and, without naming the method, the magnetic Spring Chef. Metric matters if you follow recipes written in millilitres, or simply want a second way to check a size.

The spoons are shaped for spice jars. “The rectangular design is narrow to fit into most spice jars.” A round spoon often will not fit through a jar neck, so you end up shaking spice onto the spoon over the bowl. The cups have a pour spout, which helps with oil or milk, though a steel cup filled to the brim is still a dry measure at heart. The set nests and hangs on rings that open, so you can take one piece off at a time.

One field disagrees with the bullets. The size field says “7 spoons + 7 cups”, and the title says a set of 14 with leveller. The bullets name six spoons, which with seven cups and the leveller makes the 14. Read the bullets as the inventory: six spoons, no half tablespoon. If you want the half tablespoon as well, that is the one size the magnetic Spring Chef adds.

What to weigh. It ranks #680 overall and #4 in Spoons, the fifth-best overall rank here, and it is sold by Spring Chef. The listing calls the steel “heavy duty premium Stainless Steel” and “rust proof” but names no grade, so if 18/8 matters to you, the TILUCK stainless and the Simply Gourmet are the only two that say it. No warranty is stated. Rings are a small fiddle compared with magnets, but they keep thirteen pieces together in a drawer.

Best for: Bakers who want every common recipe size in one scoop, with markings that will not wear off.

2. Pyrex Essentials 3-Pack Glass Measuring Cups Set (1, 2 & 4 Cup) — Best Glass Measuring Cup

The liquid measure the steel sets cannot replace, from 1 cup to 4, in ounces and millilitres.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the only set on the page that goes past one cup. “3-PIECE: Includes 1-cup, 2-cup, and 4-cup measuring cups that are perfect for baking, cooking, mixing and more.” Every steel set here tops out at 1 cup, so measuring 3 cups of stock with one means three fills. A 4-cup jug does it in one pour, and the 2-cup covers most of what a cake batter needs in milk or buttermilk.

It is a liquid measure, and that is a different tool. A jug like this is read at a marked line, with room above it so liquid does not slop over the rim, and a spout to pour from. “All Pyrex measuring cups feature a curved spout for non-mess pouring and easy-grip handles for comfort.” Filling a dry steel cup to the brim with water, then carrying it to the bowl, is where most liquid spills come from. For flour and sugar, which want filling and levelling, a jug is the wrong tool, so this set is a partner for a steel set rather than a replacement.

The markings are in two systems. “EASY TO READ: Featuring bold and large measurements in both ounces and milliliters making this effortless to read.” The listing does not say whether those markings are printed or moulded into the glass, which matters for how long they last in a dishwasher. Ounces here are fluid ounces, eight to the cup, so the 4-cup jug runs to 32 fluid ounces and about 946 millilitres, by our arithmetic.

It does more than measure. “High-quality tempered glass is dishwasher, freezer, microwave and preheated oven safe.” That means melting butter in the jug you will measure it in, or warming milk for bread dough. The listing says preheated oven, so the jug goes into an oven that is already hot rather than heating up with it. Glass also “won’t absorb food odors, flavors, or stains”, which plastic jugs often do.

The dimensions are given cup by cup, with one oddity. The listing gives 1 cup at 6 inches across and 4.5 inches high, 2 cup at 6.5 by 4.5 inches and 4 cup at 8 by 6 inches. That the 1-cup and 2-cup share a height is how the listing states it; the diameters probably include the handle, but the listing does not say. Allow about 8 inches of cupboard depth for the largest jug.

How it compares with its smaller sibling. The 2-pack Pyrex below has a 1-cup and a 2-cup and a different part number, 1149092 against this set’s 1118990, so the listings are separate products, not the same item sold twice. This one adds the 4-cup jug, which is the size the steel sets can least replace. It ranks #208 overall and #3 in Cups and is sold by Amazon.com. No warranty is stated.

Best for: Anyone who measures liquids by the cup and wants one jug that can also go into the microwave or a hot oven.

3. TILUCK Stainless Steel Measuring Cups & Spoons Set, 10 Piece — Best Value

A budget set that names its cup steel as 18/8 and adds a 1/8 teaspoon, with a dishwasher claim to match.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is one of only two listings on the page that names a steel grade. “The measuring cups made of Food-Grade 18/8 Stainless Steel. The measuring spoon made of premium Food-Grade Stainless Steel.” 18/8 means roughly 18% chromium and 8% nickel, the common food-grade stainless that resists rust and pitting. Note the split, though: the grade is given for the cups only. The spoons are simply stainless.

The spoons carry the useful extra. “6 Measuring spoons (1/8, 1/4, 1/2 , 1 tsp, 1/2, 1 tbsp)”. Read in order, that is 1/8, 1/4, 1/2 and 1 teaspoon, then half a tablespoon and a tablespoon. The bare “1/2” before the tablespoon is how the listing writes it. The 1/8 teaspoon is the size most sets skip; only this set and the two Spring Chefs list one.

The cups are the standard four. “4 Measuring cups ( 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 1 cup)”. No 1/8 cup, no 2/3, no 3/4. For most recipes that is enough, with the usual two-scoop workaround for 2/3 and 3/4. If you often bake from American recipes that call for 2/3 or 3/4 cup, the Spring Chef sets save those extra fills.

The markings and the care claim are both in writing. “Each measuring cup and measuring spoon have engraved clearly the size mark.” And: “Stackable professional metal measuring spoons and cups set is dishwasher safe.” Those are the two things that decide whether a cheap set stays legible. Metric is not mentioned, so expect US sizes only.

It is not the same set as the blue TILUCK. Both are sold by Yamhok, both use the same five-bullet template and the same “100% satisfaction” wording, and both say ten pieces. But the model fields differ, “Measuring Cups and Spoons” here against “5+5” on the blue set, and so do the contents. This set has four cups and six spoons with a 1/8 teaspoon; the blue set has five cups and five spoons with a 1/8 cup. This one names 18/8 and says dishwasher safe; the blue one mixes steel with plastic and says rinse.

What to weigh. It ranks #212 overall and #4 in Cups, and it is one of the lower-priced steel sets here. No warranty term is stated; the satisfaction promise invites you to contact the seller. The colour field reads “Sliver”, a typo, not a finish. For a first steel set with a named grade and a dishwasher claim, it is the most complete budget listing.

Best for: A first steel set on a budget that still names its grade and goes in the dishwasher.

4. Spring Chef Magnetic Measuring Cups & Spoons Set of 15 with Levelers, Black — Best Magnetic Set

The most measures on the page, fourteen, held together by magnets, with every odd size the Spring Chef 14 has plus a half tablespoon.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

No set on the page names more measures. “Set Includes 7 spoons in Convenient Sizes: 1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 3/4 tsp, 1 tsp, 1/2 Tbsp, 1 Tbsp plus Leveler and 7 cups: 1/8 cup, 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup, 2/3 cup, 3/4 cup, and 1 cup.” Fourteen measures and a leveller make the fifteen. The cups match the Spring Chef 14 exactly. The spoons add the half tablespoon that the 14 lacks.

Magnets replace the ring. “These magnetic cups and spoons let you use one spoon or cup at a time and then they nest together for easy storage. Quickly grab the spoon or cup you need without having to fumble with opening and closing a ring.” The OXO is the only other magnetic set here, and it has eight pieces to this one’s fifteen. Magnets matter most when you use three or four sizes in one recipe: you pull each off and snap it back, rather than opening a ring each time.

The spoons have two ends. “Oval end is narrow to fit into most spice jars. The round end is perfect for liquids. The spoons also lay flat on the counter without spilling their contents.” That is the closest any steel set here comes to separating dry and liquid use within one piece. The cups have a pour spout.

The markings claim is worded differently from its sibling’s. “They even have U.S. and metric measurement markings that are easy to read and won’t fade or rub off.” The Spring Chef 14 says engraved. This listing does not name a method, and the set is black, with no word on what the black finish is. A finish over steel and a marking that “won’t rub off” are both claims you can only hold the seller to as written; ask how the markings are applied if longevity is your priority.

It is the same brand and model field as the 14, and a different set. Both Spring Chef listings give the model as “Professional Grade”, so the model field cannot tell them apart. The contents can: this one has magnets instead of rings, seven spoons instead of six, two-ended spoons instead of rectangular ones, and a black finish instead of plain steel. The title says levelers; the bullets mention one leveller.

What to weigh. It ranks #1,989 overall and #12 in Spoons, the weakest overall rank on the page, and it is among the higher-priced sets. No grade, no warranty. For the person who wants every size with the least fumbling, it is the most complete kit here; for the person who wants engraved steel in writing, the 14 says it.

Best for: A keen baker who wants every size, including the half tablespoon, and hates opening rings.

5. OXO Good Grips 8 Piece Stainless Steel Measuring Cups and Spoons Set — Best Levelling Design

Exactly what it says, eight measures, with magnetic handles and etched markings, and nothing beyond the standard sizes.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the plainest range on the page. “Set includes: 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp and 1 T Spoons, and 1/4 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/2 cup and 1 cup Cups”. Four cups, four spoons, the standard sizes and nothing else. The piece count and the measure count agree, which is more than some bigger sets can say. But there is no 1/8 cup, no 1/8 teaspoon and no half tablespoon, so recipes that ask for those need a workaround.

The design is about getting each scoop level. “Designed to make leveling ingredients easy for greater accuracy.” The listing does not explain how, but levelling, sweeping a straight edge across a heaped cup, is where dry measuring goes right or wrong. A cup that sits steady and has a clean rim makes it easier. No separate leveller is included.

The markings are etched and called permanent. “Permanent, etched measurement markings”. That puts the OXO with the six listings that say engraved. It does not mention metric, so the sizes are US only.

The handles are magnetic and soft. “Magnetic handles keep Cups and Spoons together for storage and allow for removing one Cups or Spoons at a time”, and “Soft, comfortable, non-slip handles”. That makes it one of two magnetic sets here, with the Spring Chef 15. The soft handles mean this is not an all-steel set; the listing does not name the handle material.

The listing is silent on the dishwasher. Eight of ten listings say dishwasher safe. This one does not say either way. With soft handles in the mix, that is worth checking on the packaging before you load it. No warranty is stated in the listing either.

What to weigh. It ranks #936 overall and #11 in Spoons, is sold by Amazon.com, and carries a clear model number, 11180500, which matches its part number. It is one of the higher-priced sets on the page and has the fewest steel measures, so what you are paying for is the handle design and the brand, not range. If you want range, both Spring Chef sets have nearly twice the measures.

Best for: A cook who uses only the standard sizes and wants magnetic storage and comfortable handles.

6. Simply Gourmet Measuring Cups & Spoons Set of 12, 18/08 Stainless Steel — Best Flat-Base Set

Names 18/08 steel and engraved US and metric markings, and never lists which twelve sizes are in the box.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This listing tells you everything except the sizes. It says “With 12 sizes included, you’ll always have the exact measurement you need—whether it’s a teaspoon of spice or a full cup of flour.” Nowhere in the title, bullets or spec table does it list them. It is the only set on the page where you cannot tell from the listing whether a 1/8 teaspoon, a 2/3 cup or a half tablespoon is in the box.

The steel and markings are well described. The title says “18/08 Stainless Steel”, which makes this one of two listings to name a grade, and the only one where it seems to cover the whole set. The bullets say “premium stainless steel” without repeating the grade, so the 18/08 rests on the title alone. The markings: “Each measuring cup and spoon is engraved with both US standard and metric equivalents, ensuring clear readability that never fades.” Engraved and metric together put it among the four best-marked sets.

Two design points are practical. “The flat base design keeps cups steady on countertops to avoid spills”, which matters when you fill a cup on the worktop and level it there. And “the long-handle spoons easily reach into spice jars”, the same idea Spring Chef pursues with narrow spoons. Whether the spoons are narrow enough for a standard jar neck is not stated.

The care claim is clear; the cover is not. “Dishwasher safe for effortless cleaning”. The copy also says the set is “built to last a lifetime” and “trusted by professional chefs”, but there is no warranty term, and the model field says “No Model”. A lifetime promise in marketing copy is not a lifetime warranty.

What to weigh. It ranks #1,364 overall and #13 in Cups, is sold by Simply Gourmet Products, and is one of the higher-priced sets on the page. Twelve pieces with no leveller or ring mentioned suggests twelve measures, perhaps six cups and six spoons, but that is our guess, not the listing’s statement. Ask the seller for the size list before buying; if the odd sizes are not there, the Spring Chef 14 gives you them in writing.

Best for: A buyer who wants graded steel and metric engraving and will confirm the sizes with the seller first.

7. Pyrex Essentials 2-Pack Glass Measuring Cups Set (1 & 2 Cup) — Best Small Glass Pair

The best-ranked cup on the page, #1 in Cups, and a 1-cup and 2-cup liquid pair without the big jug.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the 3-pack without the 4-cup jug, under its own part number. “ESSENTIAL KITCHEN TOOL: 2 piece set includes 1-cup, and 2-cup, measuring cups that are perfect for baking, cooking, mixing and more!” The model and part number fields both read 1149092. The 3-pack’s part number is 1118990, and its model field just says “measuring cups”. So the two Pyrex listings are not the same product sold twice, although nothing in either listing says whether the 1-cup and 2-cup jugs differ between them.

The copy is near-identical to the 3-pack’s. Both say “bold and large measurements in both ounces and milliliters”, both give the curved spout and easy-grip handles, and both say “dishwasher, freezer, microwave and preheated oven safe”. The manufacturer fields differ: Pyrex here, World Kitchen (PA) on the 3-pack. What separates them for a buyer is simple: this pair stops at 2 cups.

It is still a liquid measure, not a dry one. A jug is read at a marked line, with a spout for pouring, and it is the right tool for milk, water, oil and stock. For flour, which should be spooned into a cup and levelled, a jug gives a less consistent fill. Pair it with a steel set for dry ingredients, or with a scale; our kitchen scale guide covers the case for weighing flour instead.

The size fields are not usable. The spec table gives 1.27 by 1.0 by 1.0 inches, which cannot describe a 2-cup glass jug, so we leave it out. The 3-pack’s per-jug figures, 6 inches across for the 1 cup and 6.5 for the 2 cup, are the nearest guide, but they belong to a different listing.

What to weigh. It ranks #137 overall and #1 in Cups, the second-best overall rank on the page and the best of the glass. It is sold by Amazon.com. No warranty is stated. If you already own a big jug, or never measure more than 2 cups of liquid at once, this is the smaller buy; if you make soups, stocks or big batters, the 4-cup jug in the 3-pack is the piece you will reach for.

Best for: A small kitchen that measures liquids by the cup and never needs more than 2 at once.

8. Bopei 10-Pcs Stainless Steel Measuring Cups & Spoons Set, Colorful Handles — Best Colour-Coded Set

Colour-coded handles with etched sizes, a 1/8 cup and a half tablespoon, and a removable ring.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

The colours are the point. “Easy Reading: Different colors for quick identification, with sizes etched on the handles for clear readability, wash after wash.” When you are working fast, picking the 1/3 cup by colour is quicker than reading a small engraving, and it guards against grabbing the 1/4 by mistake. Etched sizes back the colours up.

The range has two useful extras. “Includes 5 measuring cups (1 Cup, 1/2 Cup, 1/3 Cup, 1/4 Cup, 1/8 Cup) and 5 measuring spoons (1 TBSP, 1/2 TBSP, 1 TSP, 1/2 TSP, 1/4 TSP).” The 1/8 cup, two tablespoons, is handy for oil and butter. The half tablespoon, a teaspoon and a half, saves combining spoons. Missing are the 1/8 teaspoon and the 2/3 and 3/4 cup.

The piece count has a small mismatch. The title says 10 pieces, the item count says 10, and the model field says “11Pcs Measuring Cups and Spoons Set”. The removable ring is the likely eleventh piece, but the listing does not say so. Either way, there are ten measures.

The care claim is clear. “Our premium measuring cups set is dishwasher-safe, ensuring hassle-free cleanup after each use.” The material is “food-grade stainless steel”, with no grade named, and the handles are coloured with no word on how; whether the colour is a coating or a separate material is not stated, and that is what decides whether it stays bright after years of washing.

What to weigh. It ranks #1,307 overall and #11 in Cups and is sold by Bopei USA. Metric is not mentioned and no warranty is stated. It claims to handle “both dry and liquid ingredients”, as most steel sets here do; a steel cup filled to the brim is fine for liquid if you fill it where you will pour it. For a household where several people cook, colour coding is a real convenience.

Best for: A shared kitchen where picking the right cup at a glance matters more than odd sizes.

9. TILUCK Measuring Cups & Spoons Set, Stackable, 10 Piece, Blue — Most Popular

The best Best Sellers Rank on the page, #89 overall, for a part-plastic set with no dishwasher claim and no metric.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This is the best-selling set on the page by a distance. It ranks #89 overall and #1 in Spoons. The next best, the Pyrex 2-pack, is #137. Among the steel cup-and-spoon sets, the next is its own sibling, the TILUCK stainless, at #212. Shoppers are choosing it in numbers, and on the listing’s own evidence it is the least specified of the steel sets.

It is not all steel. “Made of Food-Grade Stainless Steel and Food Safe Plastic, 100% rust-resistant, no toxic elements.” The listing does not say which parts are plastic. The colour is blue, so the handles are the likely candidate, but that is not stated. No steel grade is given.

The cleaning claim is a rinse, not a dishwasher. “[Easy Cleaning]: It can be washed away with a simple rinse.” Its stainless sibling says dishwasher safe in the same bullet slot; this one does not. With plastic in the build, that silence is worth taking seriously: assume hand washing unless the packaging says otherwise.

The sizes are standard plus a 1/8 cup. “5 Measuring cups (1/8, 1/4, 1/3 , 1/2 , 1 cup), 5 Measuring spoons (1/4, 1/2 , 1 tsp, 1/2, 1 tbsp)”. That gives a 1/8 cup and, reading the bare “1/2” in sequence, a half tablespoon. There is no 1/8 teaspoon, which its sibling has, and no odd cup sizes. Markings are “engraved clearly”, US only.

It is a different product from the stainless TILUCK. The model field reads “5+5” against the other’s “Measuring Cups and Spoons”, the material and care claims differ, and the size lists differ: five cups and five spoons here, four cups and six spoons there. Same seller, same template, same satisfaction promise, different set.

What to weigh. It is one of the lowest-priced sets on the page and the lightest with a listed weight, 0.55 pounds. If you want a cheap spare set and will hand wash it, the rank says plenty of people make that choice. If you want a set to last, the stainless TILUCK costs a little more and names 18/8 cups and the dishwasher in writing.

Best for: A cheap spare or starter set that you are happy to rinse and hand wash.

10. THLHKD 16PCS Measuring Cups and Spoons Set with Metric and US Measurements, Black — Most Pieces

Sixteen pieces, fifteen measures and a funnel, and three of the metric spoons nearly duplicate US sizes in the same set.

Key Specifications

Why We Recommend It

This has the highest piece count on the page, and the count needs unpacking. “16PCS SET: Including multiple sizes, including 1cup, 1/2cup, 1/3cup, 1/4cup, 1/8cup, 30ml, 20ml, 15ml, 10ml, 5ml, 1tbsp, 1/2tbsp, 1tsp, 1/2tsp, 1/4tsp, and 1 funnel”. Five cups, ten spoons and a funnel. Fifteen measures, which is one more than the magnetic Spring Chef, but not fifteen different volumes.

Three metric spoons nearly duplicate US sizes already in the set. A US tablespoon is about 14.8 millilitres and a teaspoon about 4.9, by our arithmetic, so the 15ml spoon and the 1 tbsp spoon hold almost the same amount, as do the 5ml and the 1 tsp. A 1/8 cup is about 29.6 millilitres, so the 30ml spoon nearly matches the 1/8 cup. That leaves about twelve distinct volumes, still a wide range, with the 10ml and 20ml spoons the genuinely new sizes: two teaspoons and four teaspoons, near enough.

That makes it the set for metric recipes. If you cook from recipes written in millilitres, five spoons in round metric sizes are more useful than US spoons with metric engraved alongside. “Each measuring cup & spoon is clearly engraved with both US and metric measurements”, so every piece carries both. No other set here offers spoons sized in millilitres.

The listing never says what it is made of. The title, bullets and spec table give the colour, black, and the piece count, and nothing about the material. Steel, coated steel or plastic, the listing does not say. It also lists no weight, which might have hinted. It is the only listing on the page with no material at all, and that is a real gap for something you will put in a dishwasher. “It is fully dishwasher-safe for effortless cleaning”, it says.

The funnel is a bonus with no detail. It is counted as one of the sixteen, with no size given. Storage is “conveniently hanging”, with no ring or magnet described.

What to weigh. It ranks #1,528 overall and #9 in Spoons, is sold by THLHKD US, and is the lowest-priced set on the page. For metric cooks it has the best spoon range here. For anyone who cares what touches their food, ask the seller for the material first; until it is stated, it is the one set on this page you are buying blind on that point.

Best for: A cook who follows metric recipes and will confirm the material with the seller.
