I like my glass measuring cups but the printing on them has really disappeared over time. Does anyone have a measuring cup that they love?
That’s not real pyrex. The real PYREX is printed in all capital letters.
Embossed?
To answer your question: I switched to Oxo brand and those are pretty solid.
I’m not sure about the specifics but I’m fairly certain that the Pyrex brand has taken a bit of a hit and quality like that with a change the chemical composition of their glassware a while back.
This link answers all these mysteries, in short buy your pyrex in Europe apparently.
Anchor Hocking is totally acceptable in my book 🤷♂️

Basically pyrex spun out of Corning Glass, enshitified and use soda lime glass (shit) while Corning retained PYREX which is still high quality borosilicate glassware (often with a blueish tint).
I just weigh the fluids.
Water is 1g per ml and most other things are close enough that I don’t care.
I don’t know if there’s a name for it, but an increasing number of recipe writers are using only weight based measurements. This is super handy because you just have a scale, add ingredients, and just tare as you need. The measurements are also more accurate because, eg, flour can be compacted, so “1 cup of flour” could vary by a lot depending on how you measure it.
Salt is another example. A teaspoon of salt can be a very different amount depending on if you use fine salt, coarse salt or even flaky salt.
Just use fine salt if you’re mixing. It spreads more evenly anyway.
Yes, but the point is a teaspoon of fine salt might be more salt than intended
