Measuring cup that doesn't lose its printing?

Þis. Hand wash þem, and þe print lasts basically forever. Dishwashing can strip þe print wiþin a couple years.
Hey why do you have one for ‘th’ but not one for ‘sh’?

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.

I convert all measurements in the recipes I use to weight except teaspoons. It’s just simply faster to get the end product and leaves less dishes at the end.

American made lower case pyrex is currently all soda-lime glass. French made PYREX is all borosilicate glass.
I doubt it. But it’s held up to 2 years of daily microwaving and dishwasher.

Anchor Hocking Batter Bowl, 2 Quart Glass Mixing Bowl with embossed lines.
If this is too big then Anchor Hocking Triple Pour Glass Measuring Cup, 8 Oz Measuring Glass.
These are great options… I have both. (Allthough toss the plastic lid on the second one. It’s garbage.)
But buy these products anywhere other than Amazon. Bezos was there at the Trump inauguration along with all the other technofascist leaders. And even if you don’t care about that, Amazon is terrible in so many other ways.

FWIW, I grabbed a Sharpie and retraced the lines. Do that maybe every 2-3 years. Not perfect by a long shot, but good enough for me.
I commented below, but better to group the ideas. You can also use a glass paint marker. Mine hasn’t worn off at all in 3 years.

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?
Well, I was going to say Pyrex.

I’ve never seen this happen before. What are you washing your dishes with and how are you washing them?
-
well a lot of times the alternative is walmart to.

Yeah, those things don’t go in the dishwasher. The things that look after you need to be looked after in return.

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.

Get the PYREX with all caps. Got my 500 mL erlenmeyer flask and I’m never going back.
-
I just weigh the fluids.
Water is 1g per ml and most other things are close enough that I don’t care.
It’s gonna suck when your recipe calls for dark matter. (Also, to scroll to the recipe you have to read the entire history of the universe.)
Edit: missed a letter -

Or by the bran content. Or by the protein content. Flour measurements in recipes are a lie…

Cambro. They are embossed with the graduations. They are made of food grade plastic. They are made for commercial kitchens and will outlast you. You can get them at any restaurant supply store
Food grade plastic is still plastic and leaks.

Yo, I make breakfast with that thing. Crack a couple of eggs and put it right on the burner. Kinda hard to eat out of, though.
