Amazon.com Review
Follow recipes with precision for exemplary results with this 1-cup liquid measuring cup from the pros at Pyrex. Constructed in durable Pyrex glass, the non-reactive measuring cup prevents lingering odors, flavor absorption, or staining to ensure ingredient purity. Bright red lines and text help chefs identify dark liquid levels with ease. Fluid ounces and 1/2- and 1/3- cup increments adorn one side of the cup with metric milliliters noted on the reverse for quick measurement conversions. A wide handle provides cooks a comfortable grip, whether bare handed or donning a kitchen mitt. For recipes requiring hot milk or melted chocolate, the cup is both microwave- and oven- safe. The user-friendly measuring cup is also dishwasher-safe. A two-year warranty is available for Pyrex products in the event of heat-induced breakage. Made in the USA, the measuring cup weighs 1 pound upon shipping. --Jessica Reuling

Major Shortcoming
These measuring cups have always had an annoying issue that makes no sense to me. I am a right-handed American who uses Cups as a measuring unit. When I am pouring something into the measuring cup, I hold the cup in my left hand and pour with my dominant right hand. That means that the scale I need is on the opposite side of the cup. It p***** me off every single time. Was this designed for left-handed people, or am I missing something?

Durable and Chemical Free
I use my 4-cup glass measuring cup the most but sometimes you only need to heat up a cup of liquid and that's when I use my 1-cup glass measuring cup. It's convenient, smaller, lighter to use.

If I am measuring solids then I use a stainless steel or plastic set but if I am measuring liquids then glass is the only way to go, especially when I need to heat up in the microwave.

I like the glass Pyrex measuring cups. They are very durable, safe from chemical worries like plastics and odor and stain resistant.

Don't Waste Your Money
A while back I accidently dropped my 20+ year old Pyrex measuring cup and it broke in pieces. I had had it so long it was like an old friend. I thought, no problem, I'll just order a couple of them to replace the one I broke. I would not consider any brand but Pyrex because my old one had served me so well for years. BIG MISTAKE! These days, Pyrex ain't what it used to be. My original Pyrex measuring cup was almost like hardened glass, almost chip resistant. The ones they now make are made out of a totally different kind of glass. The only word that comes to mind is "cheap glass." But that's not the worst of it. The way the handle is designed is awful. On the current design, you can't get a firm, solid grip because the handle only goes half way down. The old version's handle was like you would find on a coffee cup - the top and tip were attached to the cup part. You knew you had a good grip. Also, if your hand is not completely dry and clean, the cup can very easily slip out of your hand. I won't even pick mine up and hold it by the handle. Too much of a chance it will slip out of my hand. I am in the process of looking for a replacement even if it's just plastic. I do not recommend this Pyrex measuring cup.
