Are the handles on these measuring cups sturdy or do they tend to bend when scooping things like brown sugar?

Extremely sturdy and strong. I personally use these all the time and have zero complaints. Worth the $.

They are very sturdy. I use the cups to scoop the sugar or whatever it is that I am measuring. Your going to love these measuring cups. They should be the last ones you will ever need, unless you have little ones. Ha Ha

I find the handles to be very sturdy. They have not bent and I've had mine for a few years now. My Husband has even used them and he hasn't bent them either. He is a bit more rough with things than I am, well because he's male ;-)

They have a solid handle. The only problem I have with them is that after washing in the dishwasher I find rust spots on several of the peace's if I had it to do over I would not get this item.

I think you would be fine. I used them for serving cake. They didn't seem bendable to me.very nice quality.

Seem to b made of tin or a tin blend. Sorry, I'm not a metallurgist, lol. Yes they r pretty sturdy. They really r not bendable.

I haven't had any issues with the handle bending or breaking. It is as sturdy as a five gallon bucket.

They hold up unless you are filling this with heavy items and pulling it around by the handles. Treat it right, and the handles will last.

I would say no...I was worrying about that too when I got them as I am making fruit slushes for our Cancer Support group and freezing them. I was look for a cup that had a little give to it that wasn't brittle and these are just perfect for my needs....

They are solid. They are one-piece handles, flatter and much heavier than the two-piece hollow handles. (Unfortunately, because of their extra weight, I find them easier to drop. I prefer the hollow handles on my original set, vintage 1986. Oh well...)

They are pretty sturdy, so I believe they would handle something hot, just not boiling hot.

I am believing they are made America, but truly it does not matter to me. These measuring cups hold boiling water or broth, stand up to high microwaving, heated dishwashers and never lose their markings or shape. Although there are no handles, I prefer them for being pourable, flexible and easy to use. My children and my elderly mother both love them so very much.

Yes, they are sturdy: rubber-coated plastic for durability. They aren't very large, though, since they're meant to fold flush with the container top, and only 2 of my fingers fit through them to carry. However, you can use carribiners or connect the handles directly to straps.

They are cast, and the handles are solid. I'm 220 and in pretty good shape and after a year I see no sign of the handles bending. I squeeze an average of 3 lemon halves a day. (Lemon water).

can't say what the rating is, but they are sturdier than any of my other metal cups. I bake often and I have not experienced any bending of the handles.

The handles are hard and do not adjust but I use them either with my hands flat under the handle or I grip them. I use gloves when I garden and they are fine for me. I have a good sized hand with long fingers and have no trouble with these scoops.

They're very sturdy. Not easily bent at all, but I'm sure with enough force, could be.

I have not specifically tried this, but why would you want a long-handled spoon as graceful as these to be an ice cream scoop? I doubt they could accomplish the task without bending. However, they would be a great tool to slowly sample the ice cream once placed in the dessert bowl. Recommend you appreciate the nature of this spoon for what it is. It is not a multi-task piece of equipment.

The handles seem sturdy enough to me. I haven't had any issues with the handles. Although, somewhat recently I dropped one of the smaller knives and it snapped at the blade.I would still recommend the set, though.
