Before I get into the quality of the product etc. I would like to mention that this is the shorter / fatter measuring jug and not the tall slim type. This was a little bit of a disappointment for me but then again it was my fault. I am not saying it is a bad thing, far from it. It was the price that caught my eyes. £5 for a top quality "Pyrex" product is a bargain.Let me tell you why a £5 measuring jug is a bargain... this jug is made of thick glass and is a Pyrex jug. The difference between a Pyrex and cheaper (thinner) products is that Pyrex can take a lot of knocking about. It can be used in ovens and microwaves, without damage Another great thing about Pyrex products is that glassware is actually much safer to use in cooking than plastic products.Research, over recent years, has shown that every time we use a plastic product, from bottles to cartons, to kitchenware, we consume microbeads of plastic. The plastic microbeads that we consume remain in our bodies and they build up over time. Today's teenagers are already carrying excessive quantities of plastic microbeads and will be prone to higher risks of cancers etc. So, here we have a great alternative, a glass product that is both environmentally friendly and 100% recycleable in addition to being able to withstand high heat and extreme cold temperatures.Now for the warning, if you haven't used Pyrex before. Never, ever put a hot Pyrex product into cold water. Always let a hot Pyrex product cool down before putting it into the sink or into cool water. The reason I am giving this warning is that Pyrex products are great with both heat and cold due to the glass being toughened in the manufacturing process. The glass is under extreme pressure, which is what makes it so great to use. Should a hot Pyrex product be put into cold water, it is prone to explode. If lucky it will just crack and split apart, it won't shatter like other glass products but will explode and break into numerous pieces.Now that the warning is out of the way I can get to the measuring jug. The readings are perfectly clear, as one would expect with a Pyrex product, the handle is a little small for my hands but will be adequate for most people. The pouring spout is almost perfect so spills won't be a common thing. When holding 1litre of liquid, this measuring jug is still quite light.I do highly recommend this measuring jug because the price is great for the quality and if looked after the jug can last decades, just as Pyrex dishes do. It is the long life span that usually makes a Pyrex product expensive when bought but very cheap over it's lifespan. Pyrex don't expect their glass products to be replaced every year so that is normally reflected in their prices. So, for a fiver, what are you waiting for. You can buy this jug that will be in use long after you have bought and thrown away many of the cheap plastic jugs, that are prone to crack / split after a short time. A £5 jug that has the potential to save £10s over it's lifetime is definitely worth having.
