I agree with you 100%. I've got 1,2 and 4 cup pyrex cups and I've
never seen anything better. For the SS dry measuring cups; Cost Plus
World Market seems to have the best deals on them as well as measuring
spoons. You spend a bit more up-front but they'll last a lifetime.
The stuff at Cost Plus I've got has all been superb quality and a good
price. I got two sets of cooling racks there. Three per set and the
legs fold down and supports all six. They get used all the time and
after 10 years they look just like they did when I bought them.
