Edge plastic measuring cups review

At around ₱84 as of August 19, 2026. Sixteen of the eighteen dry measuring sets in this category do not say what they are made of. This one does, and plastic is worth thinking about honestly.

What plastic gets right

It is light, it is cheap, it does not dent, and dropping it on a tiled kitchen floor is a non-event. For a set that lives in a drawer and gets used a few times a month, none of plastic’s weaknesses ever show up.

It is also the material most nested sets in this price band are made of, whether they say so or not. Naming it is not a downgrade, it is disclosure.

What plastic costs in a Filipino kitchen

Two things, and the first is specific to how people actually cook here.

Staining. Turmeric, atsuete and tomato-based sauces stain plastic permanently. A set used for dry baking ingredients will stay clean for years; a set that gets pressed into general kitchen duty goes orange and stays orange.

Flex and warping. A dry cup only measures correctly if you can sweep a straight edge across a flat rim. Thin plastic handles flex under that pressure, and plastic that has been through very hot water or a dishwasher’s drying cycle can warp just enough that the rim is no longer flat. Once that happens the set is decorative.

Hand wash in warm water, keep it for dry ingredients, and it will stay honest.

The 4.6 in a category of 4.9s

Almost everything in this category rates 4.9 or 5.0. This is one of three products sitting at 4.6, on 27 Shopee ratings.

That is a small sample, so it is a nudge rather than a verdict. Worth reading the recent reviews on the listing, particularly for anything about the rims or the handles, since those are the parts that decide whether a plastic set stays accurate.

The number this listing does not have either

No millilitre volume, which is true of every dry set here. A US cup is about 237ml, a metric cup 250ml, a Japanese cup 200ml, and a nested cup has nothing printed on it to check.

Who should buy the Edge cups

Buy this if you want a cheap, light set for dry baking ingredients, you hand wash, and you are not planning to use them for sauces.

Skip it if the set will do general kitchen duty, where stainless steel stays clean and flat for years.

Steel and better-supported plastic

For a set that will not stain or warp, see the Chef’s Classics 4-piece steel cups. For a cheap set with far more buyers behind it, the Eurochef MT019 9-piece set carries over two thousand Shopee ratings.
