Glass Measuring Cups - Page 2

I have a big pyrex one that's like 8 cups? But I never use it. Somewhere along the way I bought an Anchor Hocking 2 cup measuring cup with black lettering; it doesn't peel.

Black lettering is unusual. I think the black lettering is easier to read than red.

I like this too - pour spouts in every direction. I put my pyrex in the microwave but hand wash it. No dishwasher. Mine is over 20 years old. Paint is still on.

I also think it's the dishwasher.

This one is on eBay now. It is identical to mine. I love the 3 pour spouts, and the raised lettering is really nice, and PRACTICAL! I have 3, one is a cup and a half, the other 2 are one cup. Any old glass product, should never be put in dishwasher. The dishwasher can etch the glass, and eventually cloud it., Mine is still nice and clear. I have vintage Russel Wright glasses, and vintage Fiesta glasses. I also have many Hazel Atlas tumblers that were once peanut butter jars. I made the mistake of washing the tumblers in dishewasher in the beginning, and the clouded up. Thankfully, I used only 2 or 3 all the time, and kept the others stored!

The older ones are better, I have mine for years. Check ebay for an older one.

I have some of the older Pyrex ones - from when they had full handles (for some reason I find the open handles unappealing). Anyway, mine are practically antique at this point and are all fully labeled still. BUT, I don't use them in the microwave and I don't put them in the dishwasher.

It might be the dishwasher, if you do that, because that will eventually destroy the writing. I have some old Tupperware ones (the set that has a 1c and 2c, and the 1c fits into the top of the 2c) and they are pretty bad. I used to put them in the dishwasher and I think that's why. Too bad I cannot find those anymore because I'd buy a new set and not put them in the dishwasher so they'd last better. I use them a lot, and really like them.

Yep, it is the dishwasher that does the damage. I don't think microwave helps either.
