 Pyrex is NOT Pyrex now August 5, 2007

Posted elsewhere and added here for others:
New measuring cups are heavier because it's NOT PYREX anymore! After 1998, when Corning Glass stopped making Pyrex. (Think fiberoptics and bankruptcy, etc.) They sold off their 'household' glassmaking and it reformed as World Kitchen. PYREX is borosilicate glass and very resistant to wear and chip and cracking due to exposure to heat or quick changes in temperature. This is why Pyrex and Kimax other borosilicate glasses are used for chemistry glassware. (Timex was to watches as these were to chemlabware! Takes a lickin' and keeps on tickin'!) Corning has licensed the name of 'Pyrex' to World Kitchen, but nothing else about it is 'corning glass'. (As an aside - Corning made great glass - of all kinds. A world-beater in their day. Management screwed them over going down the wrong economic road. Do check out their lovely glass museum in Corning, NY!) NOW, World Kitchen makes their 'pyrex' measuring cups out of ordinary soda-lime glass (kitchen drinking glass type). This is NOT safe to expose to heat changes!!!! (Think wear safety goggles - like you WERE working in a CHEM LAB!) I suspect that soda-lime glass is denser than borosilicate, but the actual measure wall thickness may be different now than before, and, thus, this accounts for some of the weight difference. If you want my opinion - find 'vintage' Pyrex Measuring Cups somehow and they will last multiple lifetimes. I have one of my mom's and she has two of her mom's measures. My new ones cannot hold a candle to the old ones (30 to 60 years old) and aren't worth a tinker's damn. Happy times in the kitchen!

I bought one of these simply because I had to have every piece of kitchen ware I laid my eyes on (at one point) and, while most of my gadgets gathered dust, this little (actually not so little, and that is the point) beauty got used over and over again.
There may not be many times when you need to measure a full two quarts, but when you are measuring 2 cups or 4 cups, then mixing this with some other ingredient(s), the ability to measure and mix in the same container is a great time and dishware saver.
I learned the value of this measuring cup when mine broke and I found myself without one through the height of my baking season.
This is a bit heavier than a corresponding cup in plastic, but you simply cannot clean plastic to the same level of sanitary confidence as you can glass. Therefore, I ordered two to replace my lost heirloom. They are cheap!
I use it like a bowl. March 9, 2007

This is a great size for mixing batter and such. Just measure liguid first and add other ingredients. You save from dirtying one measure cup. With the handle it makes pouring a breeze. The handle also keeps it steady (vs. a bowl) when mashing potatoes, banana, berries and such. I actually have several with varying large sizes since they are diswasher safe and generally take up less room than a bowl.
I recommend to anyone who likes to cook

I have a set of three Pyrex measuring cups, including this large one. These are great cups!! They are easy to read and heavy glass. Pyrex is very affordable and long lasting. They make great products!!

I bought this bowl so I could easily mix pancake and crepe batter. I have been more than pleased with it. Since it's by Pyrex, it's microwave and dishwasher safe and the handle is great to hold the bowl steady while whisking your ingredients together.
