The Pyrex Measuring Cups I Use Every Time I Bake for the Past 7 Years Are on Sale for Just $9 Apiece

Because I love curling up with a blanket, hot cups of tea, and long brisk walks, autumn is easily my favorite season. It is also the season where I’m constantly baking. The heat from summer is far behind us now, so it's safe to use the oven again, and oh boy will I be using that oven. Right now, spiced pumpkin bread and homemade oatmeal cream pies are on my to-do list. But I really can’t do any of these projects without one of the most essential baking tools. 

I’m talking about my trusting Pyrex measuring cup. If you think any old measuring cup will do, think again. These measuring cups are the best ones out there, and right now you can grab a set of two for about $9 apiece at Amazon. 

Pyrex Prepware 2-Piece Glass Measuring Set

This set comes with a 2-cup and a 1-cup Pyrex measuring cup. They’re made from heavy duty glass, and cup, ounce, and milliliter measurements in that iconic red lettering are labeled on each side. It’s a deceptively simple kitchen tool that actually comes in handy several times a week — plus, even though you might be using the 2-cup version more often, the smaller one is handy for baking in smaller portions. 

I know that these measuring cups are not technically indestructible, but I’ve had mine (the 2-cup model) for seven years now, and there isn’t a scratch or a chip on it. The glass doesn’t stain, either, and it can easily be wiped clean when I’m done using it. The benefits of this feature are two-fold: First of all, I can quickly use it again for the next ingredient that needs to be measured, and secondly, because I tend accumulate a big pile of dirty dishes when I’m baking, I appreciate that at least one thing is easy to clean at the end of the day. 

The measurements are still just as easy to read as ever, which is essential because baking requires you to be incredibly precise — if you misread the numbers on the side of your measuring cup you could ruin your entire dish. And in my experience, it measures both liquids and dry ingredients (flour, sugar, oats, and more) accurately. 

While it may seem like you can pick up any plastic measuring cup at the store and make do with it, I recommend replacing any measuring cups you have now with these ones by Pyrex. If you’re going to be using a measuring cup every time you bake (and you will) then you need one that won’t pick up odors or stains, and that is durable enough to withstand constant use. In fact, this might even be the last measuring cup you ever need to buy.

Since you can grab them on sale for around just $9 apiece, you should really grab them now, just as fall baking is ramping up.
