Ewww fake pyrex
We lost our smaller measuring cup in the move, so one of my first purchases when I got my first job was a pyrex measuring cup. I learned the hard way that the only thing pyrex about it is the logo
Heh, no worries, I just wanted to spread awareness about this issue in a cheeky way ! Though it does legitimately feels weird seeing these as a European because we only get the "real" ones here.
Fake pyrex? Thats a thing?
"True" Pyrex is made of borosilicate glass and is very resistant to changes in temperature, making it excellent for lab or kitchen use. You can tell when it's "true" Pyrex if the lettering is in all caps. If it's not, it's just regular glass.
Just FYI in case anyone thinks they are safe finding the old style logo at a yardsale or something...
Damn it, now you are making me get up from my bed and head out to the kitchen.
TIL
I could swear I bought a Pyrex measuring cup. It has the red lettering and measurements just like a Pyrex. It's called Anchor Cooking!
And did it have the pyrex name on it too?? O.O
No it didnt. It had the red printing and I made an assumption. I hate shopping and just tend to grab items blindly.
You were bamboozled!
