How would you compare it against 1 X CIA Masters Collection Stainless Steel 10-Piece Measuring Cup and Spoon Set

The quality is very good with the measurements (i.e. 1/2, 1/4, etc) embossed on the handle. Kitchenaide makes a set that are just like the Bellemain set except there are half measurements embossed on the side. The CIA set you linked appear to have inked on measurements which if true would wear off over time.

The CIA set is missing 2/3 and 3/4 cup.This set has a little lip across from the handle to rest the cup as you fill. The measurements are engraved in the cup and cannot be rubbed off. I have use alot of measuring cups, these will last.

Well, I will not compare them because I don't know the CIA Masters, but I can tell you that one I've bought is really good. I loved it! Very good quality.

I chose to buy this set specifically because all of the spoons were the same size. My wife is ataxic, and needs to use spoons more than any other type of flatware. However because of her problem, we lose spoons down the garbage disposal a little too often. Having a set with different sized flatware would be of no use to me.

IMO it is not as thin or light as Corelle, but is certainly thinner and lighter than stoneware. It is just what I expected for a set of China.

It's a much better product. It's like the difference between an average set and an elite set. Both are calphalon but one is far superior. I'd note though that nothing comes without issues. I love my unison set but it's a hassel to use it at times since the seal on the lids is so ...minimal.. I'm tired of steam leaking through the lids. This set also scratches very easily if you dont baby it. Make sure you oil it very often too otherwise it gets very dull looking. Very high maintenance set but it preforms well.

The spoons are 18/10L - solid and clean very well. The set comes with a 1/8 cup measure instead of a 1/3 (along with 1/4, 1/2, and 1 cup). Very odd, and the company should change that. Otherwise, love them!Nonna C.

It's not 18/10 stainless but it's is a great value for the price. Great set I use it everyday.

So far, the measuring spoons have been fine for me, but the measuring cups rust very easily. This isn't specifically related to the dishwasher; the same thing happens when they are hand washed but left to air dry. The amazon.com listing says they are "stainless steel," but when they arrived, the label said they were "India steel," whatever that is. Not stainless, anyway, or they wouldn't have rusted.

I did some research and found that you will likely not be able to get the same spoons. Progressive does sell other measuring spoons, but it may be more cost-effective to buy a new set.

I think most coins are about the same thickness so I'll use coins as a gauge.It's a little thicker than a quarter... about the same thickness as a nickel.The pan feels very rigid. My pan has often been used on the stovetop with fairly high heat and it has not warped.

The set comes w/ a 1/4, 1/3, 1/2 and 1 cup measuring cup. The set is heavy duty, best hand washed and very durable. I love my set.

I bought this one. Those are the measurements and it's a great little pan for sauces. etc. I've had this cookware for about a week now and I like it more every day.

I have this measuring cup that I have used for over 10 years. The measurements are as clear & readable as when it was new. I have also had measuring cups that the markings have faded on so I know what you are speaking about. You will not experience this with the Catamount measuring cup. A very satisfied customer here! I have also given them as gifts because of my positive experience.

It's been a while since I bought a set like this, so can't speak to the stainless, but the pieces share lids and have their own lid in many cases. I am not a fan of the Colander style lid much preferring the old style since it would fit the smaller skillet. This set appears to have the same sized lid on the chefs pot and the sauté pan . This is very handy as one can just pick a lid and it will fit. I have a very large number of Wolfgang cookware. Many over 12 years old and they are just as good now as when new. I wash them by hand not in dishwasher so they still sparkle. Food does not generally stick and clean very easily. For stains use Bar Keepers Friend.

The set that I have is really heavy duty. As far as gauge, I can only guess that the handle thickness is around 12-14 gauge; the "spoons" are around 16-20 gauge (that part is thinner because they stamped from the same piece of sheet metal.) The stainless itself is 304 or 304L, which would include 18-8 and 18-10 types. In my opinion, this set would be at the top end of the heavy duty stuff that is available.

I returned the HIC measuring cups; the set was not as shown on the Amazon site. The metal was thin and the handles were spot welded to the cups as opposed to being one piece. I replaced these with the 6 piece Bellemain set, much more substantial and each is one piece.

I'd love to know this, too! I own these--and they are a bit different from another pair of measuring spoons I have. No idea which is more accurate!

It seems quite sturdy to me. I did find a couple of rough edges on 2 spoons. For the price it is above average in quality.
