What customers say
Buyers overwhelmingly adore the distinctive Sterling Check design, treating this measuring cup as functional kitchen art. Its aesthetic appeal is the main reason for purchase, frequently described as charming and elegant. While the heavy gauge steel and hand painted enamel quality receive praise, customers recognize the high price reflects the brand's collectible status more than superior utility. It is viewed as a delightful splurge that successfully elevates kitchen decor and brings joy to routine tasks.
Know before you buy
No, this piece is not dishwasher safe. To preserve the enamel finish and the Sterling Check pattern, we recommend hand washing with mild soap and drying it thoroughly.
This measuring cup is not microwave or oven safe. It is designed for measuring and prep work at room temperature rather than for heating or cooking.
No, this model does not have a pour spout. It is designed with a classic, straight-rimmed silhouette that prioritizes the iconic Sterling Check aesthetic.
The piece is designed primarily for its decorative appeal and large 7-cup capacity. While it is functional for measuring, the enamel finish does not feature high-contrast interior measurement lines, so it is best suited for bulk measuring tasks.
The enamel is durable and high-quality, but it should be handled with care to prevent chipping or scratching. While it functions well as a kitchen tool, it is best treated as a decorative piece that brings a sophisticated touch to your countertop.
