Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

A great gift idea for cooks with a sense of humor, the Fred Equal Measure measuring cup includes both standard and metric scale marks as well as some very informational measurement equivalents--including the volume of one human breath (500 ml) and 5,000 drops of water (1 cup). Made from durable borosilicate glass, the tall measuring cup resembles a laboratory beaker and includes an easy-pour spout and glass handle. It offers a 2-1/2-cup capacity and is both heat-resistant and dishwasher safe.

4.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious!, February 16, 2009

This is a great measuring cup including mls and standard cups as well as unique measurements up the side. The text is easily readable. There are a few included recipes - which albeit confusing - use their measures. This is sure to delight any geek - I am pretty sure the rest of you will enjoy it too. Unfortunately, the glass is ridiculously thin. I have a beaker mug from Think Geek and even it is thicker glass. While I do not regret the purchase, it will not stand up to everyday use.

Update: After less than a month of fairly daily use, it did break, so be warned!

Novelty item only, the glass is VERY thin. It is about 1/2 the thickness of a Pyrex-type measuring cup.

Everyone enjoys the incredible but true alternate measurements on this very functional measuring cup. Though a little lightweight for kitchen use - it's no Pyrex - it is definitely worth having for the unique measurements it displays. A great learning tool for kids, too!
