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.

      Wait is pyrexhome.com a fake website? It looks so legit.

      Edit: so apparently if the logo is lower case those are made by a licensed manufacturer and are made of soda-lime glass which has a blue tint. If the logo is in all upper case those are actually produced by Corning and are borosilicate glass which is clear.

        Whichever one of those companies is the knockoff needs to get his s*** together and stop using the name Pyrex because it’s confusing everybody.

        And I can’t remember which one, either the original or the knockoff will spontaneously shatter if you look at it wrong. Seems to me it would be the knockoff that would do that but I’ve been wrong before.
