We Stand Behind our Products
All of our products have been extensively tested in our kitchens to ensure that we are bringing our customers the best value possible. We have run our turners through the dishwasher hundreds of times before marking them dishwasher safe, and have cooked with our silicone utensils for years to verify their durability. Each detail is scrutinized and revamped by both our employees (and their families), so we are confident that we bring you the best possible products.
Our Story
Chef Craft was founded in 1985 by Peter Ernster. It was passed down the family through the generations. We have kept the same vision as the beginning: bringing our customers the best value based products that we can. Today, it means shifting towards sourcing products made with more sustainable materials like bamboo and wheat straw.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does a plastic measuring cup reduce the risk of injury compared to glass?
Plastic will not shatter into sharp pieces when dropped, so there is no risk of cuts, broken glass on the floor, or contamination of food with glass fragments.
Is the material BPA-free and food safe?
The Chef Craft Select cup is made from food-safe plastic suitable for measuring ingredients, giving you confidence in everyday cooking and baking.
Does the cup have any sharp edges or seams that could cut hands?
No. The rim, spout, and base are smooth and finished so there are no sharp edges to worry about during quick measuring or pouring.
Will the cup stay stable when I pour hot liquids?
It is best used with room-temperature or warm liquids. The wide base and easy-pour spout keep it stable, and the lightweight build makes it easy to control during pouring.
Is the dishwasher-safe plastic durable enough for daily use without cracking?
Yes. The shatterproof plastic is built to handle daily dishwasher cycles and regular kitchen use without cracking or warping under normal conditions.
Is this a safer choice for a senior who sometimes drops things?
Yes. The shatterproof, lightweight design is a much safer choice for seniors or anyone with reduced grip strength, since it will not break if it slips from the hand.
Can I leave this cup on the counter without worrying about breakage?
Yes. The plastic construction is durable enough for everyday countertop use and will not break from normal bumps or accidental drops.
Does the clear plastic make it easier to avoid measurement mistakes that could ruin a recipe?
Yes. The clear body lets you see the ingredient level from any angle, which reduces errors that could waste ingredients or create unsafe overfills.
Is this cup safe to use with hot oil or boiling liquids?
It is designed primarily for room-temperature and warm ingredients. For very hot liquids, let them cool slightly first to protect the cup and your hands.
How does this cup compare to a traditional glass measuring cup for safety?
Unlike a glass measuring cup, this plastic version will not shatter, so there is no risk of dangerous shards if it slips from your hand or falls off the counter.
Is this better than metal measuring cups for safety in a busy kitchen?
Plastic is lighter, will not dent or scratch cookware, and will not create sharp burrs like some metal cups can, making it a solid choice for a busy home kitchen.
How does this compare to disposable paper cups for safety and accuracy?
Unlike disposable paper cups, this reusable plastic cup is sturdy, accurate, dishwasher-safe, and will not leak, collapse, or skew your measurements.
Will the cup become brittle or unsafe after years of dishwasher use?
With normal use, the plastic holds up well over time. If you ever see cracking or stress marks, it should be replaced, but this is uncommon with normal care.
Does the lightweight design make it feel flimsy or unsafe to use?
No. The plastic is specifically chosen to be both lightweight and shatterproof, so it feels easy to handle without feeling weak or unstable.
What is the biggest safety advantage of this cup over glass for renters?
For renters, the biggest safety advantage is that it will not break and damage flooring, countertops, or feet if dropped, which matters when you are not the owner of the space.
How do I read both US and metric measurements on this cup?
The cup has graduations molded into the side for both US cups and milliliters. Simply pour your ingredient to the line that matches the unit called for in your recipe.
Can I use this cup to measure both dry and liquid ingredients?
Yes. The clear body and easy-pour spout make it suitable for measuring dry ingredients like flour and sugar as well as liquids like milk, water, and oil.
How do I clean the measuring cup after use?
You can wash it by hand with warm soapy water or place it on the top rack of the dishwasher for hands-free cleaning.
Will this cup fit in a standard kitchen drawer with other measuring cups?
Yes. The 1-cup size is designed to nest with 2-cup and 4-cup versions of the same line, so it stacks compactly in a standard kitchen drawer.
Is this cup compatible with microwave use for melting butter or chocolate?
It is designed for measuring, not for microwave heating. For melting, transfer ingredients to a microwave-safe container to protect the cup.
What is included when I order this measuring cup?
You will receive one Chef Craft Select plastic measuring cup in the size you select, with clear US and metric graduations molded into the body.
Is plastic food safe compared to glass or metal?
Yes. The cup is made from food-safe plastic that is lightweight, shatterproof, and suitable for everyday measuring of common baking and cooking ingredients.
Will the cup stain from ingredients like tomato sauce or turmeric?
The clear plastic resists most staining with normal use, and prompt washing after use will keep it looking clear over time.
What is the difference between a plastic measuring cup and a dry measuring cup set?
A dry measuring cup set usually includes nested cups meant to be filled to the brim and leveled off, while a plastic liquid measuring cup like this one has a spout for pouring and clear graduations for reading volume at a glance.
