Advantages: Cheap, easy to use and clean, will last forever

Disadvantages: None

My Pyrex jug is one of the most useful things in my kitchen. I actually don't think I could manage without it because I use it every day.

Pyrex is one of the most durable materials on the planet; I still have, and use, the Pyrex casserole dishes I received as a wedding present over thirty years ago.

I bought my measuring jug about four years ago; my old Pyrex one had lost most of its markings over time and, when I saw them in Sainsbury's, still at such reasonable prices, I decided to treat myself.

The jug has every single quantity mark and measurement that you could possible want, all imprinted in red, which stands out on the glass and makes it very easy to read. The whole jug is made in one piece so it feels safe to handle, and you don't have to worry about whether the handle is about to fall off. The handle itself is is shaped to make it easy to use, the jug pours without spilling and splashing, and is very easy to clean, either in the dishwasher or by hand. It is heat-resistant to 300C degrees so you don't need to worry about it cracking, even when boiling liquid is poured into it.

This particular jug holds 1 pint or half a litre, both easily marked on it. The pint has graded measurements from 2fl. ozs. right up to the one pint mark, in 2fl. oz. stages, and the half litre is measured in 100mls. Unlike lots of other makes of measuring jugs, the Pyrex jug has the markings on both sides, ideal if you happen to be left-handed.

My Pyrex jug cost me around £1.70 from Sainsbury's - a steal at the price, and I thoroughly recommend it.

Summary: Pyrex seems to go on and on and on.........
