Chef's Gallery CG342 5-piece measuring cups review

Two Chef’s Gallery sets sit on this page at around ₱129 as of August 19, 2026. This is the one worth buying.

Same money, more information

The Chef’s Gallery CG072B cups cost the same on the same date and state no piece count. This set states five, rates 5.0 from 25 Shopee ratings against the sibling’s 4.6, and has sold more.

Both samples are small, so the rating gap is a handful of buyers rather than a settled fact. The stated piece count is the solid difference, and at identical prices it decides it.

Five is the useful count

Four-piece sets cover a quarter, a third, a half and a full cup. The fifth piece is normally two thirds or three quarters, and both appear in recipes often enough to be a nuisance without them.

Improvising works. Two thirds becomes two one-third scoops, three quarters becomes a half plus a quarter. It also doubles the number of times you fill and level a cup, and every extra scoop is another chance to lose count or pack the flour.

The listing does not state which fifth size you get, so check the photos on the current listing.

The technique that matters more than the set

Spoon flour into the cup and sweep the top level with the back of a knife. Do not dip the cup into the bag: that compacts the flour and a packed cup can hold a quarter more than the recipe wanted.

That habit is worth more than the difference between any two sets on this page, and it is free.

What no dry set here publishes

No material, and no millilitre volume. A US cup is about 237ml, a metric cup 250ml and a Japanese cup 200ml, and a nested cup carries no graduation to check against.

Only two of the eighteen dry sets in this category name a material at all, so this is a category-wide gap rather than a Chef’s Gallery one. It is the reason a scale is the real upgrade rather than a dearer set of cups.

Who should buy the CG342

Buy this if you want a five-piece set at a mid-budget price and you would rather buy the listing that tells you what is in the box.

Skip it if you also need spoons, where a combined set costs about the same and covers more.

Sets with spoons, and the upgrade

For nine pieces including spoons at around the same price, see the Eurochef MT019 9-piece set. For stainless steel that stays flat and clean for years, the Chef’s Classics 4-piece steel cups are the long-term buy.
