Setup
Before first use, wash the measuring cup and lid thoroughly with warm, soapy water. Rinse completely and dry. The measuring cup is ready for immediate use.
Operating Instructions
This Pyrex measuring cup is designed for precise liquid measurements. Follow these guidelines for optimal use:
- Measuring Liquids: Pour the desired liquid into the cup. For accurate readings, place the cup on a flat surface and read the measurement at eye level, aligning with the bottom of the meniscus (the curve of the liquid surface).
- Using the Spout: The integrated spout allows for easy and controlled pouring, minimizing spills.
- Lid Functionality: The red lid is designed for storage. It features multiple openings for steaming, straining, pouring, and a snug seal for general storage. Ensure the lid is properly aligned and pressed down for a secure fit.
- Oven and Microwave Use: The glass measuring cup is safe for use in preheated ovens and microwaves. Always handle hot glass with caution.
- Fridge and Freezer Use: The measuring cup is safe for refrigeration and freezing. Allow frozen contents to thaw slightly before heating or exposing to sudden temperature changes.
Maintenance and Care
Proper care will extend the life of your Pyrex measuring cup:
- Cleaning: The glass measuring cup is dishwasher safe. The red lid is BPA-free and top-rack dishwasher safe. For best results and to preserve markings, hand washing is recommended.
- Storage: Store in a dry place. Avoid stacking heavy items directly on top of the glass to prevent breakage.
- Temperature Changes: Avoid extreme temperature changes, such as placing a hot glass directly into cold water, as this can cause thermal shock and breakage.
Troubleshooting
Fading Measurement Markings
Over time, especially with frequent dishwasher use, the red measurement markings on the exterior of the glass may fade or wear off. This is a common occurrence with printed glass bakeware.
- Solution: While faded markings cannot be restored, the measuring cup remains functional. For critical measurements, consider using a separate, clearly marked measuring tool. To minimize future fading, hand wash the measuring cup.
