Question: Other measuring cups by Anchor Hocking have reviews saying the markings wear off quickly. Do the measuring marks on these last through years of use?
Document: These are the same glass measuring cups that have been around for years and they last forever. Great in the microwave. That said, if you use them as often as I do, do not put them in the dishwasher. I now have a set of bowls that microwave well and pour well. They no longer measure anything. Granted it took well over a year but all of the red markings eventually came off in the dishwasher. (BTW:I do not overuse dishwasher detergent - I use premeasured tablets.)
If these use the same paint as the individually sold cups, watch out.After regular use, the markings on our Anchor Hocking measuring cups are all but unreadable. In the right light, if you hold the glass just so, you can just barely read them. It is not all bad though: I gave our kids Porcelaine 150 china markers and they made new, much more fun, markings.
I initially loved this set. I like the open handles because they stack neatly and compactly. The measuring cups were easy to use and accurate. However, After having them for a year with normal usage, the markings are coming off. Frankly, a measuring cup with no markings is pretty useless.I have always been pleased with Anchor Hocking products in the past but must say that I will second guess purchasing anything from them in the future
I was tired of purchasing light-weight plastic measurers that easily crack and quickly lose the measurement markings... no matter how carefully washed. I was initially shopping for Pyrex when I came across this AH set. As mentioned in other reviews, I really appreciate the measurement markings on both sides and the three different measurers are perfect for any situation. It is too soon to note whether or not the markings will wear off quickly or not. But if that proves to be an issue I will modify my rating.
We had 30 year old glass measuring cups made by Anchor Hocking. They worked well but after all these years the marking on the sides were wearing off. We love the new open-handle cups. They nest wonderfully and our old eyes are happier.
It broke and needed to be replaced. At the Amazon price, I didn't have to think twice about getting the three piece set, even though I needed only one of them. Having a one quart measure is convenient, as you may realize once you have one. For any tasks that required using a two cup measure more than once, things become easier.I prefer Anchor Hocking measuring cups over Pyrex because they are easier for me to use.
Anchor Hocking has repackaged their measuring cups. For price, quality, and kitchen use and serviceability this product is outstanding. We have used the differing measuring cups and are very satisfied. This is a product that you definitely should have in your kitchen. The packaging protected each cup perfectly, none of the cups were damaged in any way. Amazon has also increased the packaging to protect the measuring cups. This product is definitely value priced for any budget. We highly recommend purchasing Anchor Hocking.
Many years ago, I bought a two cup Anchor Hocking measuring cup to replace a cloudy Pyrex one. The Anchor Hocking lasted many years and stood up quite well to dishwasher cleaning. I have a water softener and a dishwasher that heats water to a very high temperature, which are ideal conditions for the phosphorous in detergents to cause glass to leech and discolor. During the time I owned this measuring cup, I went through at least three sets of drinking glasses that were replaced when they got too cloudy.
It seems that both you and Anchor Hocking could improve the packaging.Better bubble wrap and maybe even a fragile sticker on the outside. In going thru the reviews on Amazonfive of 20 reviews had complaints of damage seems like 25% damage because of poor packing is a hugh number.
I brought this item January 2010, I wanted to get some wear out of it before reviewing and I love this set it is very durable and withstands dishwasher use without chipping or cracking...I love Anchor products!
Answer: Yes they last.
