Review on πŸ”΄ Pyrex Prepware 1-Cup Measuring Cup: Transparent with Vibrant Red Measurements by Jonathan Robertson

Revainrating 3 out of 5

It's not your mother's Pyrex!

I have 2 old Pyrex glass measuring cups that belonged to my mother: 2 and 4 cups. I bought this size for 1 cup and expected the same quality and performance. NO! Older version sizes have less wasted space above the top line and therefore the "PYREX" logo is less visible. This 1 cup mug is so large (to accommodate a large logo) that it is almost the same size as my 2 cup mug. Why bother getting a size smaller when it really isn't smaller? In addition, 1 cup is poured very poorly. Unless you pour very slowly and give a very gentle stream out of the cup, the liquid will squirt everywhere! This does not apply to large cups, which can be poured at a natural pace and the liquid does not slosh. I would argue that the measuring cup redesign was a huge mistake and Pyrex should revert to an older design with a better spout, a more compact size and a slightly less "dramatic" grip.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Something is wrong
