Other measuring cups by Anchor Hocking have reviews saying the markings wear off quickly. Do the measuring marks on these last through years of use?

I have had mine for awhile now, and I use them almost daily. So far, no deterioration of the marks.

I have had mine for years as well and the markings have held up too. Mine have been in dishwasher and microwave. We have lived in the country with very hard water that we treated with a professional water softener. We just moved back to the city and are now on city water. Still holding up well. AH measure cups pour great compared to Pyrex which always dribble out.

I've had my Anchor Hocking set for over 5 yearsand the markings are fine. I frequently hand wash them instead of using the dishwasher, so maybe that has helped.

I bought 5 cups, 2 one cup, 2 two cup, 1 four cup. The markings on one of the one cup came off after a couple of uses. The others are holding up. I do hand wash. Only had for about a year

I threw away the one cup measure before a year was up because all the markings came off. The others still have theirs. They are put in the dishwasher.

The markings are clear and have not worn off yet. I must admit I haven't needed to use a scrubber on them. They nest, so it's easy to determine which size cup I am using.

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.

The markings are the same color as the the measuring cups. They are embossed would be difficult to read. They are good items but probably will not work for your family.

Anything I have designed and baked I hand wash only. I try to avoid the dishwasher. It seems when I hand wash carefully, the imprint stays longer. I have used these markers on mugs then baked. They work well, but can still wear off eventually it seems.

They are marked on the handle of the cup, but it also has the markings for half of each cup on the inside of the cup.. For instance, if you want 1/8 a cup, inside the 1/4 cup you will see marks for 1/8. No guessing!

I found that regular sharpies worked better, actually. It seems these markers wore off far more quickly...sadly. I have a few mugs that I did this past summer that still have designs on them. I put my cups through the dishwasher, intentionally, to test the durability. I have to say, regular sharpies work better.

A two cup measure should have the 1/4 mark and if it does not it is a bad printing. It should be returned for a replacement. If it had been a bigger measuring cup they might not have such a mark as you would only use it for larger portions.

Yes. They lasted for a few years before a small part holding one of the cups on broke but with some super glue they were easily fixed and lasted until the the cups themselves started falling part from use.

No there are no internal markings. They are designed for accurately measuring dry ingredients and to do that the cup(s) should be filled to the top and leveled off with a knife. There is a 1/4, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 3/4, 1 C. Dishwasher safe. No welds. Accurate. If you need 5/8 C, you would use the 1/2 cup and 2 level Tablespoons. If you need 1/8 C you would use 2 level Tablespoons. If you need 7/8 C you would use the 3/4 C and 2 level Tablespoons. As a general rule, old school coffee scoops are 1/8 C or 2 Tablespoons. For liquid ingredients it is most accurate to use a measuring cup with a pour spout designed specifically for liquids. No there are no internal markings.

There are no marking-lines indicating exact measurements but, compared to other standard measuring cups, if you fill the OXO measuring cups to the rim you should have an exact measurement.

I purchased a set of these measuring cups a few months ago, but I can't find a "made in" label of any kind on the product itself.

i've had thermometers like this or similar for many years and they're still working. minimal care and they should last a long. long time.

No markings anywhere to what country these are made from but I think it is made in China like most of the products we have here. Yeah I know I do not like made in China products because of their poor quality and workmanship but sometimes you have no choice. This is heavy and well made measuring cups and not those cheapy light ones. I bought these last year and it is still look the same as when I first bought it. I hope this helps you.

Mine has not faded so far and I've had it for 7 months. I bought this as a replacement for one of mine that has faded. I would NOT recommend this specific measuring cup. The pour spout is not shaped correctly and as a result its contents spill down the side. No problems with my old measuring cups only this specific brand.

I've been using my caddy for over a year and have had no problems with marking.

I have used these as "fill to top." It makes sense in terms of what I remember/was taught for dry measuring cups vs. liquid measuring cups, and given they don't have any internal markings.Sorry if my answer isn't incredibly precise, but I hope it helps!
