Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Pyrex Prepware 7-Piece Mix & Measure Set with 6-Piece bonusCustomer Review: I've used this set more than 10 years and love it! Summary: 5 Stars
I've been using these bowls and measuring cups nearly daily for more than 10 years, and find them absolutely indispensable. They don't crack or stain, and look as new as they when I bought them! One of my favorite features is that the smooth pyrex makes them extremely easy to clean. I usually just sponge them off by hand, but have never had a problem putting them in the dishwasher, either. The bowls stack neatly in the cupboard, for easy space-saving. The cups are a bit more awkard to stack due to their handles, but I stack those too without a problem.The bowls - I love the fact that they're see-through. I've used the larger ones for mixing wet or dry ingredients in cakes, muffins and pancakes; and rinsing produce; and I've used the medium sizes for rinsing rice and other grains. I've even used the smallest bowl as an extra bowl at the table! I don't use my microwave, but pyrex is a material known to work in the microwave. The measuring cups - I like the easy-to-read markings in American measurements on one side, and metric on the other. Also, the handles are easy to hold and the spouts make for a good clean pour. I like the fact that the markings on the American side are both in ounces and fractions of cups. The one-cup measure has markings in 1/4, 1/2, 3/4, 1 cup, as well as 1/3 and 2/3 cups, and calibrations in between the markings. I've never had a problem, even when doubling or halving recipes into odd measures. For measures smaller than 1/4 cup, you'll need to use measuring spoons (4 Tbsps = 1/4 cup.) The large four-cup measure is a great time saver for making soups that call for 8 or 10 cups of water. I also use the two- or four- cup measure when juicing-I put the cup right under the juicer spout and know exactly how much juice I'm getting. Remember I said they don't stain? My larger cups have had quite a bit of carrot/kale/beet juice in them and if they were going to stain, they would have by now! It's a great deal to be able to get all these pieces together in one set, rather than individually the way I bought them. Given the durability, multiple uses, and the way the set stays in excellent condition year after year, I think it's one of the best kitchen values there is. If you can't find these pieces new, I recommend looking for them used.
Description of Pyrex Prepware 7-Piece Mix & Measure Set with 6-Piece bonusThis Pyrex set has just about everything you need for most baking ventures. Measuring and mixing are pretty well covered, and there are even "extras" such as a scraper and an egg separator. This would be a welcome shower gift or a suitable "first apartment" starter set. Safe in the oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher, Pyrex is a special glass that withstands the shock of going from cold to hot, or vice versa, without breaking. Designed for kitchen prep work, this set consists of 1-cup, 2-cup, and 4-cup measuring cups and 1-quart, 1-1/2-quart, 2-1/2-quart, and 4-quart mixing bowls. An included bonus package consists of a plastic measuring-spoon set, a plastic bowl scraper, and a plastic egg separator. The bowls can also be used for serving salads and fruit, raising bread dough, and cooking and warming foods. Because Pyrex is nonreactive, won't stain, and won't absorb odors, the bowls are perfect for marinating food in acidic marinades and mixing salad dressings. They come with a two-year warranty against breakage from oven heat. --Fred Brack
