1-Pint Measuring Cup

This is the perfect measuring cup, which includes both metric (up to 500 ml) and cups (up to 2 cups). The markings are clear and this is the timeless pyrex glass with a spout and handle that we love and trust. This is one of my most-used tools in the kitchen, and I was thrilled to find this in glass after a visitor broke my old one and I could find only plastic in local shops. Thank you for continuing to offer this in sturdy pyrex glass!

Ah, the Pyrex Measuring Cup, my kitchen confidant and partner in (culinary) crime. You know you're an adult when you get unreasonably excited about a measuring cup, but this isn't just any measuring cup – it's like the superhero of kitchen gadgets. I half-expect it to leap out of the cupboard in a cape, ready to save the day! Let's start with its transparency. It's so transparent; it's practically auditioning for a role in a magic show. I mean, you can see right through it! That's a game-changer, especially for those of us who've been traumatized by countless botched recipes because we couldn't tell a half-cup from a quarter-cup. With the Pyrex Measuring Cup, there's no room for confusion. It's like a culinary crystal ball. And speaking of magic, this thing can handle hot and cold like a champ. I've poured boiling-hot soup into it, and it didn't flinch. I've also used it to measure out icy-cold milk for my cereal, and it didn't crack under the pressure. It's like the Mr. Freeze of measuring cups – unflappable in the face of extreme temperatures. But here's where it gets really interesting: the Pyrex Measuring Cup is virtually indestructible. I once dropped it from the top shelf of my kitchen cabinet (don't ask how that happened), and it just bounced like it was made of rubber. I'm convinced it's made from the same material as Captain America's shield. I half-expect it to come with a warranty that says, "Guaranteed to survive the apocalypse – and maybe a small asteroid impact." Cleaning it is a breeze, too. I've accidentally left chocolate sauce, tomato soup, and who-knows-what-else stuck to it for days, and a simple rinse and swipe with a sponge, and voila, it's like new. I'm pretty sure Pyrex cups are immune to the concept of "stains." Now, let's talk about those easy-to-read measurements. They're like the font of wisdom for my culinary adventures. I can finally tell the difference between a teaspoon and a tablespoon without consulting the Rosetta Stone of recipes. In conclusion, the Pyrex Measuring Cup isn't just a kitchen tool; it's a kitchen superhero. It's transparent, temperature-resistant, indestructible, and incredibly easy to clean. It's like the Swiss Army Knife of measuring cups, except it doesn't have a corkscrew or a toothpick – but it doesn't need them because it's already mastered the art of making cooking feel like a magic show. If you want to level up your culinary game and have a blast doing it, this cup is your trusty sidekick. Just remember to give it a superhero name when you're not using it – it deserves it!

I broke my measuring cup and wanted one just like the one I broke. I was able to find it on Amazon and couldn’t be happier. It’s heavy glass, which, when the last one broke, it broke into big chunks, which was an easy cleanup. I had that measuring cup for more than 10 years.

I like this Pyrex Measuring Cup for several reasons. First, it is made of glass so you can see inside it. Second, the red measuring graphics are easy to read. Third, it is thick glass which is less likely to break, although I did manage to finally break my first cup like this. I used it almost daily and it took 18 years to break, so you do the math there for its durability. Fourth, it is a Pyrex. I like the quality of Pryex. It costs a smidge more but it is worth it. Quality item. Fifth, a glass measuring cup should be a necessary item in every kitchen.

I had one of these for over 50 years, but had to replace it because the line markings became too hard to read. Love the new one.
