Pyrex 500 ml Kitchen Lab Measure and Mix Beaker, Multicolour

Replacement for one which broke. It's invaluable for measuring different ingredients especially if you like baking at home. One pyrex jug for multiple uses. I wouldn't be without it!

Just what I wanted: a liquid measuring cup with detailed measurements. This has a notch every 10mL, which is perfect--no more eyeballing something when you need 180mL, 220mL, etc., which with certain recipes can make a big difference in the outcome. It is, however, just as thin-walled as any lab beaker, which means this will be quite fragile, and the lack of a handle will limit its usefulness for hot liquids (not something I intend to use it for, anyway). The pouring spout is adequate; it didn't drip terribly at a steady pour. Some of the measurements are, for me, extraneous (the sugar one in particular) but others may find these very useful. The beaker came perfectly packed in several layers of bubble wrap, which was reassuring. (Also, Sunday delivery via Prime? I feel like I'm living in the future!)

I ordered this after purchasing several smaller 400ml borosilicate beakers which all broke fairly quickly. One broke while I was stirring something in it and another broke closing the dishwasher too hard. So I looked for something stronger and this certainly is thicker glass. I cannot understand what other people are saying about it being thin and weak. They obviously have not used Academy, SIMAX etc type beakers because those are noticeably thinner than this Pyrex beaker. So far it has worked as intended in the month that I have had it and survived some minor mishandling and drops into the sink. It is not built like a bear mug but will survive changes in temperature which a bear mug will not take and believe me I have shattered a number of bear mugs with too great a change of temperature too quickly.

Love my Pyrex beaker. Good Value for money and packaged well.

Very clear markings and very convenient for measuring various ingredients whether liquid or solid.

Measures far more accurately than other measuring jugs. Measures liquid up to 550ml, in 10ml increments, so if you need to measure accurately, it is great. Pour spout. No handle (so hot liquids are more difficult). Also measures up to 440g rice, 520g sugar, and 370g flour, without my having to get out the kitchen scale. It is glass- my husband dropped it quite hard on a concrete floor, and it smashed, but general day to day durability seemed fine. We bought another. Both arrived very quickly. My other Pyrex is far thicker and more indestructible, but doesn’t measure as accurately. It is similar to a lab beaker. Very happy with this.

This is genuine Pyrex. The gradations are clear to use. It has liquid, flour, rice and sugar scales. I mainly use for liquid measurements because the container that came with my breadmaker is small and hopeless to read the scale. I chose this because it has a 10ml scale so I can measure 170ml for example with confidence and not have to guess somewhere between 150 and 200ml. The scale goes upto 550ml. or 400g flour and 500g sugar. (No imperial measures). The packaging does warn against adding heat to a cold container as this may cause breakage. Like any other glass it wouldn't withstand a fall. Go for a plastic one if this worries you but the markings may not be so easy to read. As long as I'm not my usual clumsy self, I hope this will assist my accuracy when baking for years to come.

Really well made, but then everything from Pyrex is, These things feel like they can take few knocks without breaking. They have really clear markings for accurate measurements and I have tested against the scales and they are pretty accurate. I own all 3 sizes, way better than jugs with 50ml separations.

Durable and heat resistant

Schöner Messbecher kein Plastik einfach zu reinigen .Würde es weiter empfehlen und nochmal kaufen

Super

Tenía miedo de que me llegase roto por alguno de los comentarios, pero me ha llegado entero. Venía embalado en papel de burbujas. Lo pedí junto a otras cosas y en la caja en la que me llegaron todas pusieron algo de papel para que no se moviera y llegase bien, no sé si lo hubiera pedido solo si me hubiera llegado entero solo embalado con el papel de burbujas. Estoy encantada con el vaso medidor. Compré el de medio litro y estoy planteándome comprar el de 1L.

J'ai dû en recommander un car le mien est tombé (de pas très haut alors qu'il était dans mon armoire du bas 50 cm du sol) et s'est brisé :(
