Made in USA
Glassware & Dinnerware
The red-lettered American measuring cup that outlasts every gadget in the drawer.
The Pyrex measuring cup has been a fixture in American kitchens for generations, and the classic version is still made from tempered soda-lime glass at Anchor Hocking’s Lancaster, Ohio plant. If you want one measuring cup that will outlive every plastic gadget you own, at about $14 this is it — just be sure you are buying the American-made “PYREX,” not the imported lowercase “pyrex.”
An icon that earns it. The 2-cup Pyrex is tempered American glass with clear red measurements, microwave- and dishwasher-safe, and cheap enough to be a no-brainer. There is no formal warranty and glass can break, but this is the measuring cup most American kitchens already trust — and it is genuinely made in Ohio.

- Microwave-, dishwasher-, and (per label) oven-safe tempered glass

In Use
Measuring and mixing
The 2-cup size is the everyday workhorse: red markings you can read at a glance, a spout that actually pours cleanly, and a handle that stays put. It goes in the microwave to melt butter and into the dishwasher after, and the glass never picks up garlic or tomato stains the way plastic does.
Built to last
People hand these down. Tempered glass shrugs off daily use, and at this price a replacement is painless if one ever breaks — while still buying American.
Specifications
The Verdict
Buy this if: you want the classic American measuring cup that lasts — ideal for bakers, cooks, first kitchens, and gifts.
Skip this if: you need borosilicate lab glass or a formal warranty — and never confuse it with the imported lowercase “pyrex.”
Bottom line: the 2-cup Pyrex is the best value on our American-made table — an icon you will use for decades, made in Ohio.
