Are they easy to scoop with a measuring cup?

yes Carol the mouths are wide enough to get a measuring cup in easily. also what I thought was nice about this set is they have a nice seal so when you close the lid they sealed air tight.

Yes, the opening is quite large. They way look better in person than what you see on the screen.

They have a fairly good opening and does allow you to use something other than a spoon to get what you want.

I use a 3/4 cup to scoop out of the smallest one for sugar and it fits with space to spare. A one-cup spoon/cup should also fit any of the three. I've had these for months now and love them.

Yes - because these are for dry measuring (flour, sugar, etc.) You need to get a glass or hard plastic liquid measuring cup like Pyrex. Try this link: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords;=liquid%20measuring%20cup&sprefix;=liquid+mea%2Caps

They are so small that they don't get in the way for me. Besides, you can't get the last from a container with a round scoop anyway, so I always pour the last bit out into the measuring cup.

Same here. I had used a level scoop. Tried again with heaping scoops. Got very good.

Sure! The actual opening size (inside the sealed rim) is 3-3/4" wide. You can easily get most scoops or a hand inside. Depending on the style of your measuring cups, you could get 1/2 cup in there easily, but not sure how a 1 cup would fit. Hope that helps!

Smoothly, as easy as other scoops. I do notice with this brand that the thin release bar does not bend as easily as with other brands that I have used. Specifically Oxo, Wilton and Faberware.

you can use any scoop. They pretty much the same size. but I'm okay with original. Also I have so many compliments from every one who come to my house it`s look unusual.

No, these are basically toys; I posted the dimensions in a previous answer. They are not deep enough for a scoop of ice cream.

They're very light. I'd say they're about as heavy as those really cheap, thin glass cups you'd get somewhere like Walmart. (But my kids haven't managed to break these yet!)

I tried to find out but was unsuccessful. That said, I love using them, I purchased the CIA measuring cups too.

I have not. They seem to be pretty sturdy. I have only used them for liquids, flour, sour cream and shortening so far and have not scooped anything up with them, i have always placed the product into the cup.

Thses are dry measuring cups. I remember my mom and grandmom use to fill a cup such as this and take the back of a knife to level out the over fill. But I also think you might be able to use them for liquid also (if you are careful) due to the ever so slight spout.

Such a loaded question... However...They are a little on the heavy side, and the cups are a little big. They also grip kind of tightly. Probably a bit much for 5 and under.

Depends on what you are scooping. Solids works well, less than solid, you'll be scraping. Still, it's a thin metal edge that's far superior to most else.

Yes, I have tried many scoopers over the years for my dogs and this is neatest and easiest I've ever used!

Even with the measuring cup it may take some experimenting to get them just the way you like. But eventually it's easy.
