Safe in the oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher, Pyrex is a special glass that withstands the shock of going from hot to cold, or vice versa, without breaking. That's important even with this set of liquid measuring cups, which can go into the oven to, say, warm a sauce and then be plunged into dishwater. The set consists of three measuring cups: a 1-cup, a 2-cup, and a 4-cup, all essential to a well-equipped kitchen. Large, dark blue markings in both U.S. and metric measurements make the cups easy to read. The cups are nonreactive (useful for acidic salad dressings) as well as stain- and odor-proof, and come with a two-year warranty against breakage from oven heat. --Fred Brack

As expected:
They were exactly as expected. I'd have given them 5 stars except measuring cups just aren't that exciting ;^j
Contrary to popular belief:
Pyrex is only a trade name ONLY now, licensed out to World Kitchen. It is NOT the original invention from 1915 that we all remember. It is NOT Pyrex BOROSILICATE glass anymore (after 1998). It is NOT safe to plunge into ice cold water from boiling oven anymore. It's also heavier because it's NOT PYREX anymore! After 1998, when Corning Glass stopped making Pyrex. (Think fiberoptics and bankruptcy, etc.) They sold off their 'household' glassmaking and it reformed as World Kitchen. PYREX is borosilicate glass... more info
makes life easier:
having these makes my kitchen time SO much easier! now that i'm used to having them i can't imagine just having one plastic one like i used to. the variety of different sizes is fantastic. non-porous equals extremely easy to clean, even with greasy stuff. the bigger one is nice for mixing dry ingredients and adding to other things. i also prefer the blue writing to the red.
Love it:
This is a great set. The best part is that they will nest inside each other for easy storage. I was hesitant about getting them, thinking I would have to store each one separately since they are glass and with handles. But, they fit nicely inside each other with the handles hanging over the edge. Great buy.
