When I was growing up, my mother had a set of measuring cups that included a 3/4c and 2/3c. I think they were made by Tupperware.



1 1/2c though? Never heard of.

When you're baking bread and you can use a 2-cup measure for 8 cups of flour it can be awfully convenient to have one. I think I got mine from the King Arthur catalogue.

I have a set of the Tupperware measuring cups and they do indeed have 2/3 3/4 and 1 1/2 cups. I love them and use them all the time. I got the set at a yard sale, however, so I do not know if Tudderware still makes them.

I too have the Tupperware set - my mom gave me her spare when I moved to my own place after college. It's what she always had and I never even realized it was weird until combining my housewares with my wife's.

My mother got me a set of these for Christmas. It takes some getting used to (interrupting that matural move for the 1/2 cup when something needs 1 1/2 cups) but I like them. Good stuff.

What? You aren't baking by weight? Bad foodie.



Once I used a scale, I never wanted to go back to volume. And there's less cleaning afterward.

There are silly little spoons labled Pinch, Dash, and Smidge.



Useless, but cute.

Oxo makes a good set. Or, you could get one of those plunger/syringe type cups with the bottom that adjusts up and down. That will cover any measurement you need, odd or even.

My wonderful sister-in-law got my Williams Sonomas complete set of standard and odd size measuring spoons and cups one birthday.



I find them very useful, especially the 2 cup and 2 tablespoon size.



If you have limited storage, they aren't necessary but if you do a lot of cooking (especially of large servings or multipled recipes) they are great
