Advantages: lots of uses

Disadvantages: none

I expect a lot of houses have a Pyrex product in the kitchen Pyrex has made toughened heat resistant glass kitchen ware since 1915, before them this firm developed toughened glass for light bulbs in 1879.
I expect a lot of people will call any toughened glass casserole or plate Pyrex even though it is made by someone else and does not have the Pyrex name stamped on it.

I have for many years had a real Pyrex measuring jug, a modern one as it measures both in pint and liters.
I find this jug very useful , I can and do use it to measure quantities of liquid to add to my recipes., When making scotch pancakes I use it to measure the quantity of milk , when making a jelly I use it to measure the water. I use it to cook custard in the microwave mixing the powder in the bottom of it then topping up to the required measurement. I use it for making gravy, I use it for so many other things I have to heat in the microwave , I do not have to know how many litres of beans I am heating but this is a handy vessel to heat them in .

My Pyrex measuring jug is a 1 pint1/2 a litre jug.
It is a clear glass the measurements marked of on a vertical red line with horizontal marks. The litre marks are measures in 50 mls with the 100, 200, 300, 400, and 500, written on them. The pint line is measured in ¼, ½, ¾ and 1 pint marks, fluid ounces are also marked on the pint line.

This jug can be put in the dishwasher to clean. My Pyrex jug is still as clear as the day it was bought, no stains on the glass and I have used it 1000000's of times. After washing the jug is not tainted with the flavour of the product that was cooked in it so the onion soup that I heated does not taint the custard .it is an easy jug to hold with a n easy to grip side handle. I have dropped mine several times as yet it has not broken.

I would certainly recommend this jug. This jug would make an ideal present for a wedding, ideal to have if you are a student as you can measure and cook with it. It can be used for non food related uses too.
I think there ids a ten year guarantee with all Pyrex products
This jug retails for between £1.50 and £2 Available in many stores both on and of line.
