Customer Reviews of Pyrex Prepware 4-Cup Measuring Cup, Clear with Blue Measurements
Customer Rating:  Summary: Exactly what I wanted Comment: I have not had these Pyrex Prepware measuring cups long but they (I bought 3) are perfect for what I ordered them for. I am single and I make alot of soup dinners for myself and I hate the SALTY commercial dried/canned soups or beans. 3 cups of fresh soup seems to be a good evening meal for me and a 4 cup measuring/cooking/eating bowl is the perfect size to prepare/cook/eat it (did I mention that I'm a lazy old rascal?). Low sodium/low fat broth in boxes makes an excellent base (which I usually modify with seasalt to about 25-30% the salt commercial soups provide) with fresh or frozen veggies, fresh sliced meat or a small frozen bag of some meat prepared periodically by me for the freezer with my Foodsaver vacuum sealer when good grades and cuts of meat are cheap (chicken or shrimp is excellent but I find brisket is ideal and some places will slice it for you if you buy a moderately large piece), some spices, some pasta or Asian varieties of noodles, 20 minutes plus or minus in the MWave and an appetite, and you got a great fresh dish that cleans up in an eyeblink. I don't cook much anymore but trust me, I don't like junk food and some of these quick efforts taste as good as what you get in most restaurants. Some have complained about breakage and the uncomfortable handles but though I suspect that they are indeed, NOT bulletproof, I find that they do bounce admirably and I don't have any issue with the handles since the whole point of my cooking style is to reduce handling. If I was baking, perhaps I would feel different but there are lots of lighter, reasonably safe plastic cups that work great for dry ingredients. The inert qualities of the Pyrex glass preclude vile compounds from heating in the MWave. Apres dining, some 30 seconds of hot water and soap bring you back to square one with a clean dish and spoon. Ain't minimalism great? BTW- these cups will also cook oatmeal or grits very well too and if you use the versions from old time cartons or sacks instead of the little envelopes full of Soylent Green, those starches will taste better, cook almost as quickly AND be good for you too (but watch how much cheese you put in the grits). Also, they are somewhat lower and broader than your typical measuring making them more dining friendly. Customer Rating: Summary: Gotta have this in the kitchen! Comment: I could not live without my Pyrex glass measuring cups. I use them for everything, but sometimes the 2-cup ones just don't hold enough and that's when I go to this size. These are so useful around the holidays when you find yourself doubling-up on recipes and as always, the quality you've come to expect from Pyrex will not disappoint. Customer Rating:  Summary: We bought four: all four had chips or cracks Comment: We bought four of these measuring cups and are really disappointed that all four had chips or cracks. In the past, we have always loved Pyrex cups, but the ones we bought from Amazon all have defects: a crack in the middle or small, dark chips at the base. So we can use them, but cannot give them as gifts. Customer Rating: Summary: Love Pyrex. Comment: My parents had this when I was growing up & I used it constantly. Had to get one for myself. I have the 2 cup one as well. Very useful! Customer Rating: Summary: Durable Glass Measuring Cup Comment: I love my 4 cup glass measuring cup. I use in the microwave all the time. It's perfect to measure out your ingredients in and then just pop in the microwave and cook. One bowl cooking and measuring. This is the way I cook my instant potatoes when I make them. The glass is really thick and heavy duty. Nice quality. More Reviews A true kitchen essential, this 4-cup measuring cup from Pyrex is the perfect companion for preparing, baking and even storing. Pyrex glass does not retain food odors or stains, so cleanup is always a no-brainer. Two-year warranty. 
Choosing Appliance -> Mixer Pretty much the same thoughts as the food processor. High quality mixers are great for making bread or other tough jobs. Every kitchen should have one. Be sure that any mixer has all three attachments: paddle, dough hook, and whip. Also, find a spot on the counter where it can be easily accessed at a moment's notice. Choosing Appliance -> Do I need a dishwasher? If you enjoy washing by hand, no! However modern machines use less water, detergent and power than ever before and wash hotter using really powerful cleaners giving a hygienic wash result. You can save around 500 hours a year so it is worth thinking about. If you have a small kitchen or live alone, choose a slimline model.

Tips How to Maintain Appliance -> Hob and grill cooking Modern appliances reach higher temperatures quicker - and often hold heat longer. To avoid worktop damage, follow both the appliance manufacturers instructions and these rules:
