The VARDAGEN products are designed to turn differences into similarities. Like the eggcup. “We did it in a shape that it’s more like a very small dip bowl,” explains Ina. “So it’s also for Asian eating, you know the bowl where you put chili paste and other condiments.” Another bowl has just the right size and shape to be a rice bowl in Asia, but it can also be used as a side-salad or cereal bowl.

Reviews
Works well enough, not the sturdiestWhitneyThese work well enough for the kitchen, but they seem to get scraped up pretty easily. I think that's just the nature of the materials used for them.
Very thin stainless steel, bends very easily. Overall quality of Ikea items have declined.HaleyI ordered online, and the price appeared reasonable for stainless steel measuring cups, but once I put them to use, I realized how thin and bendable they are. They are of very low quality. Additionally, I immediately noticed that items I had purchased multiple times at IKEA (a wall clock, storage items, curtains, and other basic household essentials) were thinner, made of flimsier materials, and overall of noticeably lower quality. I picked up my order in Denver, Colorado, in October 2025, and the last time I bought some of these items was probably in 2023; they are substantially different. I understand that inflation plays a role, but IKEA’s prices have risen considerably, so I do not understand why product quality has decreased alongside price increases. The difference was striking.
Unfinished edgesAnnaI ordered this set from IKEA because I have the smaller measuring spoons and love them. I wanted to get these to avoid using the measuring cup. However I will be returning this set. It seems the edges were missed during the sanding process and are pretty sharp. I am concerned about scratching my hands.
Measuring cupsJosephNice all-metal measuring cups.
Nice stainless steel measuring cups.SueI bought these to replace my black plastic ones because they tell me my plastic ones have toxins. I am happy with these solid stainless steel measuring cups! They are dishwasher safe and nice quality.
Good valueAnnieLike it
Sturdy!PatriceThis is a nice, well constructed, useful set of measuring cups. They nest well, and the handles are firmly attached and thick enough so that they will not bend easily. Certainly worth the price!
Best Seller?DanielI purchased this set to measure dog food portions. Sharp edges, overall appearance is horrible. Threw them away. Not good enough for my dog. Another failed Ikea product.
Sizing is not accurate but build quality is niceDanielSizing is not accurate. It's a bit larger but the build quality is nice.
Nice quality measuring cups!SueThese measuring cups are a good weight with smooth rounded edges and nest compactly. . I bought them to replace a plastic set whose handle cracked off. My old set included a 1/8 cup which this one lacks.
Great Quality!RebekahI needed new measuring cups & decided to grab them the last time I was in the store. They are durable as well as accurate. I've even run them in the dishwasher without any problems.
Disappointing set of measuring cupsAmyThe cups are well-weighted and have the uni-body handle/bowl construction I wanted which avoids things getting stuck between the parts: but 2 problems: metal edges are poorly finished and risk cuts; measuring is not as accurate as I’d like
Well madeChristyWell made
StyleRafaelNeeded these badly. Don't really like the design they are weird looking, but they do the job.
Great valueColbyGreat value for a stainless product however, I wish I didn’t have to choose one out of the bin that had the least amount of scratches on them. Seemed consistent with all of them in the bin.

Story
Designing for the tastes of people around the world
Do you sometimes cook dishes from other cultures? Then you’re part of an international trend called transculturalism. It basically means that global cooking and eating habits are a lot more similar than you may think. How can we cater for this trend? We designed the VARDAGEN series with products that can be used in multiple ways. In Swedish, VARDAGEN means “every day”, which is just how the products are meant to be used, no matter where you live.
“Consumers have access to cultural diversity in cooking and eating from all over the world,” explains Ina Tidbeck Sjöblom, who helped create the products. “They want to taste the best of all cultures, which means that it’s not only in Asia that we need eating products for sushi.”
Creating products for all our differences (and similarities)
Answering the global demand for durability
VARDAGEN is uniquely suited to the global market—catering to the different needs of eaters. One thing people all over the world seem to agree on is the importance of durability. “We know from all the studies and research we do that people don’t want to buy and throw away things, they want to buy something that lasts,” says Ina. That’s why VARDAGEN is made from durable and sustainable materials, like glass, porcelain and stainless steel. That means, just like the name VARDAGEN suggests, they’ll be useful every day for many days to come.
Material
What is stainless steel?
Stainless steel is found in everything from building structures and cars to sinks and knives. It’s easy to see why it has so many uses. Stainless steel is hard and durable and has good resistance to corrosion – namely rust. It generally has a low nickel content, and for IKEA products we mainly use stainless steel that’s nickel-free. Like many other metals, it can be recycled again and again to become new, hardwearing items – without losing its valuable properties.
