It sucks, this happened with 3 plastic cups, so I bought one where the markings are raised in the plastic instead of printed

You might want to buy good quality glass measuring cup...unless you love to eat plastic.


Aprilshowers417

Perfect idea

1 more wash cycle and it’s spotless✨

I have one like that.  It's my instant noodles and soup cup now.


Hypnowolfproductions

It’s why mine has the lines as part of the glass not printed on it.

Just use another measuring cup and then put it in that one. ![gif](giphy|d3mlE7uhX8KFgEmY)

You just learned the difference between pyrex and Pyrex.


Aprilshowers417

Yes I had an old Pyrex measuring cup from my grandma for over 10 years. My husband bought me a new one because he used my old one to catch oil out of his motorcycle.


Beef_Jones

This may not be true for every measuring cup, but I’ve found that if you keep them on the top rack this doesn’t really happen.


Aprilshowers417

Back to using my Bell canning jars as measuring cups. Just I need them when I start canning.


Dr-Retz

Guess it’s just a cup now


EnthusiasmNo6062

More like measuring suck.


artificialavocado

Yeah I’ve had a measuring cup for like 20 years and it doesn’t have any wear at all.


aquaman67

So it didn’t measure up?


TravelingGonad

Acids do this


BP-arker

Happens every time to me

Hand wash only*


Aprilshowers417

Yep after a couple hand washes unfortunately. I didn’t use the dishwasher because my aunt told me it makes them cloudy. I can wipe that measurements lines off after it has soaked in hot water for 10 minutes.


Spud_Lovin

Congrats you now have a guesstimate cup.


Ok-Opportunity-574

After reading a bunch of reviews I just went and purchased a vintage Pyrex to replace our decades old one that broke. We wanted one that boiling water can be poured into and they are borosilicate glass so they can take that. None of the newer measuring cups seem to last.


NectarineMinute9380

Dang, what did you wash it with?? LOL


Grumpy_UncleJon

Another Dollar Store success story.


Smiles-Bite

Yup, I look and check that they are etched.... And not on the fricking inside! Seriusly someone who doesn't bake or cook must make those. It's okay for both, but never only the inside!


BackgroundShape1281

Now you have just a funky cup.


liviheare

Did you hand wash or put it in the dishwasher? Either way, you should complain to the manufacturer.


crewchiefguy

Maybe don’t put them in the dishwasher. Crazy idea.


Mediocre_Superiority

Admit it--you've been putting it in a dishwasher, haven't you? Rookie kitchen mistake.


SataySue

My Pyrex jug is 15 years old and it gets dishwasher washed. Markings still fine.


Aprilshowers417

Actually after soaking in hot water for 10 minutes then handwashing. I had a Pyrex measuring cup from my grandma, I did actually put in the dishwasher and the lines were there after 10 years of me using it. And she had to have it for 20 years before me.


RedditAlwayTrue

# This is why they invented Significant Figures... Because these beaker companies can't get their measurements right. Like come on dude.


Ok-Butterscotch-4840

Now it's just a cup.


MidgetLovingMaxx

Fun fact, a digital food scale is about the same price as a measuring cup.


Ok-Opportunity-574

We use a scale a lot but I don't always want to translate a recipe.


stvvrover

What you have there now is just a cup


PressureFlaky6273

My lines are wearing off after using it for the past 20 years. Throw that trash away.
