Why heat-resistant glass liquid measuring cups make a good gift

  • Clear glass makes it easy to see the liquid line against the markings.
  • Larger cups double as mixing bowls for batters, dressings and whisked eggs.
  • A nested set of sizes covers everything from a splash to a full litre.

What to look for

  • Check whether markings include millilitres and cups, since many Canadian recipes use both.
  • Confirm the cup is labelled for microwave, oven or dishwasher use as needed.
  • Look for sets with lids if the cups will also store leftovers or prepped sauces.

Questions people ask

Can a glass measuring cup go straight from the fridge to the microwave?
Sudden temperature changes can crack glass, so letting it sit at room temperature first is wise. The care instructions will give specific guidance.
Do the markings on glass measuring cups wear off?
Printed markings can fade after many dishwasher cycles. Embossed or fired-on markings tend to last longer.
