Measuring cup that doesn't lose its printing?
-
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?
I bought an aluminum measuring cup with embossed measuring lines from a dollar store.

Lowercase pyrex shatters from temp change.
Yeah lower case is just regular soda lime glass. Capital is borosilicate which has better thermal shock resistance. Same for glassware.

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.
Embossed… have seen that, might be the way
Because of course the dishwasher is the erm eco-friendly way (what, laziness, no never)

That’ll be great in the microwave

I got the ACCUPOUR 1 gallon measuring pitcher on amazon after being recommended it from City Steading Brewing, who was poetic about it, and I wasn’t disappointed! I never thought I’d love a pitcher but I love this one.
Raised dark markings with dual scale metric and imperial, amazing handle and the spout is AMAZING! I’m able to take ½oz samples from a gallon of liquid into a shot glass no issue.
They make smaller ones too, which I haven’t tried but work the same.
Can you boil water in it? I use my pyrex 2 cup to boil and cook in the microwave

I just weigh the fluids.
Water is 1g per ml and most other things are close enough that I don’t care.

I know there’s no real way for people to intuitively know but it’s not remotely that simple (if only it were): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YVbkDAw4aJs

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.

At work we have two measuring cups in the kitchen. Someone has scrubbed them with steal wool and scotch bright to the point they are useless.

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 wouldn’t use it for boiling water - I’d stick to glass for that

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

Since we’re in the US, I saw this one from Target:
I can’t speak for its sturdiness and it doesn’t have 1/4 marks but with the straight sides you could eyeball it. It’s soda-lime glass, so you can boil in the microwave and wash in the dishwasher.
Just an option.

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’?

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.
