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
Will this measuring cup break into sharp pieces if my child drops it on the tile floor?
No. The Chef Craft Select plastic measuring cup is made from shatterproof plastic, so it resists breaking on impact and will not produce sharp shards if dropped during busy baking sessions with kids.
Is the plastic safe for children to handle and mouth during cooking lessons?
The cup is made from food-safe plastic and has no small detachable parts, making it suitable for supervised children's baking and cooking lessons at home.
How light is the cup for a child to lift when it is full of flour or milk?
The cup weighs only about 0.07 kg empty, and the easy-pour spout keeps the weight balanced so even small hands can manage a full cup of ingredients.
Can my child read the measurements clearly while learning to bake?
Yes. The clear body and molded dual US and metric graduations make it easy for children to see exactly how full the cup is and follow recipe amounts.
Is this measuring cup a good way to teach measuring without using real glass cups?
Absolutely. The shatterproof plastic and lightweight build make it one of the safest tools for teaching children real measuring skills in a family kitchen or kids' cooking class.
Is this a good first measuring cup to buy for our family baking station?
Yes. It is durable, dishwasher-safe, and available in a 4-cup value pack, making it a practical starter set for a busy family baking station.
Can my kids use this cup for both flour and milk without cross-contamination?
Yes. The cup is dishwasher-safe and the smooth plastic cleans easily between dry and wet ingredients, so it can move from flour to milk with no issue.
Does the lightweight build mean it tips over easily on the counter?
No. The wide base and clear stable design keep it steady on the counter even when a child is scooping or pouring.
Is this cup a safe alternative to glass for play kitchen and pretend play?
Yes. The shatterproof plastic is far safer than glass for play kitchens, pretend play, and any setup where children handle the cup unsupervised.
What if my child cracks or damages the cup during rough use?
The shatterproof plastic is built to resist cracks from normal drops, and replacements are inexpensive, so a damaged cup can be swapped out without stress.
How does this plastic measuring cup compare to a glass Pyrex cup for kid baking?
Unlike a glass Pyrex cup, this plastic cup will not shatter into dangerous shards if dropped, making it a much safer choice for kid baking and family kitchens.
Is this cup safer than stainless steel measuring cups for small children?
Yes. Plastic is lighter, will not dent counters, has no sharp metal edges, and will not clang or cause injury if dropped, which is why many parents prefer it for young children.
Can this cup be used near a stove or oven without melting or warping?
It is designed for room-temperature measuring of ingredients, not for direct stovetop or oven use, so it should be kept away from open flames and high heat to stay in good shape.
Will the measurement markings fade after many cycles in the dishwasher?
The graduations are molded into the plastic rather than printed on the surface, so they stay readable through normal dishwasher use over time.
Is this cup sturdy enough to be used as a child's first real cooking tool?
Yes. The shatterproof build, easy-pour spout, and clear graduations make it a reliable first real cooking tool for children learning to measure.
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.
