Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pyrex Prepware 2-Quart Measuring Cup, Clear with Red Measurements
Customer Review: Large Bowl for Measuring and Mixing
Summary: 5 Stars
First let me say, this is not a measuring cup, this is a measuring bowl. It is a very large and convenient size. The bowl is about 7.5 ins across and 5 ins deep. I love it, its great for a variety of measuring, mixing and microwaving.
Glass Pyrex measuring cups and bowls are perfect to measure your ingredients in and then just pop right in the microwave to heat up. The perfect way to make cook'n serve pudding or instant potatoes. The open handle is great to hold onto while mixing and also great to grab while removing hot ingredients out of the microwave. The handle doesn't get hot in the microwave. I have the 1 cup, 2 cup, 4 cup and the 8 cup measuring cups in Pyrex. They are great. I love the durable glass instead of plastic, so no worries about bacteria, odors or chemicals. The markings in red are easy to read too. They are also made in the USA.
Highly recommend. This one is one of my favorites.
Customer Review: Good Product
Summary: 4 Stars
I don't understand all the comments about boiling coffee on top of a stove and not expecting a bad outcome. Pyrex clearly states that you shouldn't do this. Also, from my chem major days, decades ago, I don't recall using Pyrex measuring glass to boil things on top or stoves.
This measuring cup is great to microwave sauces, puddings, candy, etc. and that is primarily what I use it for. I previously had an Anchor Hocking 8 cup measuring cup that I broke(not on a stove top, but by dropping a jar on it - don't use these things for wash basins!) and got the Pyrex because it was cheaper than the Anchor Hocking 8 cup. The Anchor Hocking design has a better handle and etched measuring lines. The Pyrex has a steeper design so it is slightly less likely to boil over. Also, the measure lines are painted on the Pyrex so they are easier to read but may wash off over time if you use a dishwasher.

Summary: 5 Stars
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!
Customer Review: Pyrex is still Pyrex
Summary: 5 Stars
I could only find an anchor 2 quart measure locally and it was heavy and had a closed handle so it was awkward to use. I ordered the Pyrex and it arrived promptly and it is much lighter than others I have tried and the open handle makes it much easier to use.
The reviews about Pyrex being different since he was purchased by World Kitchen are nonsense. A little research and you will find that the formula for Pyrex hasn't changed since the 1940's. Pyrex has been made from tempered soda lime glass for 60 years. Soda lime glass is considerably more resistant to breakage on impact and is comparable to Borosillicate glass as far as resistance to temperature changes. Just goes to show you should take all of those emails your friends send you with a grain of salt.
All glass can be broken, care must be taken to use it properly.
Customer Review: Pyrex is no more
Summary: 1 Stars
It turns out that this mixing bowl is not made by corel, and is not the high quality high temperature glass originally used. Corel sold of it's Pyrex brand to another company called World Kitchen. WK uses common bottle glass for all it's Pyrex line, rather than the 'lab glass' that made pyrex worth buying.
I was forced to purchase a replacement for the 16 year loyal pyrex measuring that finaly broke. It arrived today, complete with defective bubbles and cracks through both the handle and bowl. Return shipping will cost more than the item did to purchase, so I am out of luck.
If you are looking for the quality pyrex that has been used for generations, you are out of luck. It has not been made for a while now.
