PIREX Pyrex Dry MEAS JUG 500ML 888B000, Multi-Colour

I love this jug. It is good for hot liquids, fits a hand blender, has a pouring spout and is comfortable to drink straight from if you want to. The drawback is obvious - it is made of glass and can break. Tip, I put it onto a cork mat or wooden board when blending in it to reduce vibration, it's fine so far after a year of daily use. I have broken one but only because I knocked it off the side onto the kitchen floor, but then I melted two plastic ones before had this glass one!

Absolutely the most useful measurer ever. I had to replace the one o broke immediately.

This just is much more useful for mixing liquids due to being taller, just be sure to expect much thinner glass than the standard and more popular Pyrex just with the handle.

When the "Jug" arrived it was like opening the proverbial Pass the Parcel, OK I thought It's glass they have to be careful but this was a little over the top.When I held the "Jug" in my hand [ if it wasn't for the red scale print and the lip ] I thought "blimey" it was lighter and about the same size of a Pint Glass you get in the local Pub. OK I'm a big bloke and although I am normally careful this makes me feel nervous, not like any of the other Pyrex ware I have which you can [not meaning to]"Donk" it and nothing will happen. Its described as a dry measure "Jug" but don't worry it has a red 1/2 Lt Liquid scale. As a dry scale I should imagine it works just fine,but as I said it is to light and delicate for me.

I've been using Pyrex bowls, dishes and jugs for many years and assumed this beaker would be as durable as they've been. Unfortunately it feels very fragile and I'm always very nervous when using it as I'm afraid one bump against a tap when rinsing it would be a bump too far. I bought the beaker to replace the plastic one I use with a hand blender and it does the job as long as I'm careful but I fear it won't be with me for very long.

I use this every day for filling the water tanks on my coffee machines. Good size, holding 500ml and also has handy measurement marks for dry products too so handy if you don't have a set of kitchen scales to hand.

Briliant for making homemade mayonnaise with hand held blender.It look a bit fragile as the wall are thin but i havent had issues so far.

very useful, recommended.
