What Customers Ask About Nest Measuring Cups & Spoons
What sizes are included in the 8-piece set?
The set includes eight essential measurements: ¼ teaspoon (1.25ml), ½ teaspoon (2.5ml), 1 teaspoon (5ml), 1 tablespoon (15ml), ¼ cup (60ml), ⅓ cup (85ml), ½ cup (125ml), and 1 cup (250ml). This covers all standard baking and cooking measurements you'll encounter in recipes, from tiny amounts of spices to larger quantities of flour or liquid.
How does the snap-together mechanism work?
The handles of each measuring cup and spoon feature a snap mechanism that securely connects them together. When nested, the entire set stays organized as one unit, preventing pieces from separating or getting lost in your drawer. They separate easily when you need a specific size, then snap back together for storage. This design eliminates the frustration of searching for matching pieces.
Are the measurements marked on both sides?
The measurements are clearly marked on each piece showing both metric (ml) and imperial (teaspoons, tablespoons, cups) measurements. This dual marking means you can follow any recipe regardless of which measurement system it uses, without needing to convert between metric and imperial. The markings are moulded or printed into the plastic for durability.
Can I use these for both dry and liquid ingredients?
Yes, these measuring cups and spoons work for both dry ingredients (flour, sugar, spices) and liquids (water, milk, oil). For dry ingredients, fill level with the rim and use a knife edge to level off for accuracy. For liquids, place on a flat surface and check at eye level to ensure precise measurement. The smooth interior makes both types of ingredients easy to pour out cleanly.
How much drawer space do they take when nested?
When fully nested and snapped together, the entire 8-piece set measures just H8 x W17.3 x D7.7cm. This compact footprint is significantly smaller than storing eight separate measuring pieces, making the set ideal for smaller kitchens, limited drawer space, or when you want to keep your kitchen organized and clutter-free.

Care & Use Instructions
Before first use: Wash all pieces in warm soapy water or in the dishwasher. Dry thoroughly before snapping together for storage. This removes any manufacturing residue and prepares the measures for food contact.
Using for dry ingredients: Select the required size and separate it from the nested set. Fill with the dry ingredient until level with the rim, then use a straight edge (such as a knife back) to level off excess for accurate measurement. This technique ensures consistent results in baking where precision matters.
Using for liquid ingredients: Place the measuring cup or spoon on a flat, stable surface. Pour liquid to the required level, checking at eye level for accuracy. The smooth interior allows liquids to pour out cleanly without leaving residue. For sticky liquids like honey or syrup, a light coating of oil helps ingredients release more easily.
Between uses: Rinse or wipe the measure if switching between similar ingredients. For significantly different ingredients (such as moving from wet to dry), wash and dry the measure before reusing to prevent cross-contamination or flavour transfer.
Dishwasher cleaning: All pieces are dishwasher safe. You can leave them snapped together or separate them before washing. If washing snapped together, ensure water reaches all pieces by positioning them with handles facing up. The plastic is durable and maintains its shape and measurements through repeated dishwasher cycles.
Hand washing: Wash in warm soapy water using a soft cloth or sponge. Pay attention to the interior of smaller measures where ingredients might collect. Rinse thoroughly and dry completely before snapping back together for storage.
Storage: Snap all 8 pieces together to keep them organized as one compact unit. Store in a drawer, hanging on a hook (if your drawer has one), or in a cupboard. The nested design takes up minimal space—approximately the footprint of a single large measuring cup. The snap-together handles prevent pieces from separating or getting lost.
Maintaining accuracy: Avoid using sharp utensils inside the measures, as scratches can affect accuracy and make cleaning more difficult. Don't use the measures as scoops for hard ingredients like ice or frozen foods, which could deform the plastic. With proper care, the measurements remain accurate for years of use.
Avoid: Microwaves, as the plastic isn't designed for microwave use. Don't expose to extreme heat beyond normal dishwasher temperatures. Avoid abrasive cleaners or scouring pads that might scratch the surface or fade the measurement markings.

Frequently Asked Questions
What if I'm not satisfied with the set?
Return it to us, even if you've used it for cooking and baking. Our no quibble guarantee covers used items—if the set doesn't meet your needs or expectations, we'll refund you in full. This applies whether you've tested a few pieces or used the entire set multiple times.
How does the Half-Price Replacement guarantee work?
Valid for 2 years from purchase date. If you accidentally damage any piece in the set (such as cracking or breaking a measuring cup), we'll replace the entire set at half the current retail price with proof of purchase and evidence of damage. Photos are acceptable. This guarantee provides peace of mind for everyday kitchen use.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery to mainland UK addresses can take up to 7 working days, but is usually 3-4, and is free for orders over £49. Next day delivery may be available for £9.95 on orders placed before 1pm Monday to Thursday, depending on your location and our stock levels. You can also collect from our shops in Cobham or Reigate, or our warehouse in Redhill.
Are these suitable as a gift?
Yes, the Nest measuring set makes an excellent gift for anyone who enjoys cooking or baking, particularly those setting up a new kitchen, downsizing, or who appreciate clever, space-saving design. The Sky Blue Editions colourway is attractive and contemporary, and the practical functionality means the gift will be used regularly rather than stored away.
Can I buy individual replacement pieces?
Nest measuring sets are typically sold as complete sets rather than individual pieces. If you need to replace a damaged or lost piece, contact us—we may be able to help source specific items or advise on the best solution. The Half-Price Replacement guarantee provides an economical way to replace the entire set if needed within 2 years of purchase.
Will the snap mechanism wear out over time?
The snap-together mechanism is designed for repeated daily use. With normal handling, the connection should remain secure for years. Avoid forcing pieces together or pulling them apart roughly, which can stress the plastic. If the snap becomes loose over extended use, the pieces can still nest together—they simply won't lock as firmly.
Will the measurement markings fade?
The metric and imperial measurements are typically moulded or permanently printed into each piece. With proper care and avoiding abrasive cleaners, the markings should remain clearly visible throughout the product's lifespan. Regular dishwasher use shouldn't affect the clarity of the measurements, though handwashing may help preserve them even longer.
Are these accurate enough for serious baking?
Yes, Joseph Joseph measuring cups and spoons provide the accuracy required for baking when used correctly. For best results with dry ingredients, fill level and use a straight edge to level off excess. For liquids, check measurements at eye level on a flat surface. These techniques ensure consistent, reliable measurements for all your baking needs.
