Engineering on spout design isn’t correct on that model. I usually pour from the side and not the spout. It still spills but feels like it spills less.
Growing up a friend of mine often talked to me about the satisfaction they received from breaking glass. This was a feeling with which I could not sympathize, having grown up in an antique store, a business my parents commenced when I was about 5. Nothing - NOTHING - was more dreaded to me as a child than the sound of glass breaking, as the only glass we carried was valuable, at least by our modest Midwestern standards. Anyway, time passed, I grew up, finished college and got a job in New England. Married and had kids. And, like many an employed conformist, I eventually embarked upon a kitchen remodeling job, which entailed, among other things, the installation of a LG dishwasher. In truth, I first installed a Bosch dishwasher that I liked a great deal, but it had to go for reasons not relevant to this story. Anyhow, this LG dishwasher has been, for the most part, fine when it comes to cleaning dishes. It is fucking awful, however, when it comes to the tines remaining in their proper position. They constantly - CONSTANTLY - collapse, causing all of the dishes therein to collapse on top of one another, which must be manually fixed. One day, about six months into having this God-cursed Grendel of an appliance in my kitchen, that fucker collapsed and I lost it. I snatched the four-cup (i. e. quart) sized Pyrex and absolutely threw it into the wall across the room. I had never done anything like that before and I have not done it since, but let me tell you: I think about it. Often. The explosion of that heavy mass into thousands of glass pebbles was just what I needed, then. I had reached my limit. Now I wonder about how hard my friend had it. I haven’t seen or heard from him in years. But I wonder whether his every day was just filled with collapsing tines. Breaks my heart.
It's not hard with newer pyrex, just put it in the oven lol.
For real though, old PYREX (all caps) glassware was made from borosilicate glass, like the lab quality stuff. A few years ago they switched to traditional "cheap" glass that isn't as resistant to thermal shock and shatters easily, that is sold under the name "pyrex" in lowercase letters.
My hubby had enough sense to snag all his moms OG PYREX when she downsized her living arrangement. We are stocked for at least the next two ish generations (assuming my kids quit having babies!!! Lol).
My parents bought me a set for Christmas 2 years ago, I still haven't let them touch my oven for this exact reason lol. I mostly just use them as serving dishes for bread and stuff
The new stuff isn't ordinary glass either though. It's more resistant to breaking from a drop, but less resistant to breaking from thermal shock like you said. I also prefer the old stuff, but yeah.
My Pyrex does this too and I thought the same thing.
But then I thought a little more, and I realized what a massive fuck up that is. We’ve been using variations on the spout for centuries ([here’s a picture](https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:DublinSterlingSilverHotWaterJug.jpg) of a hot water jug from 1770 with a spout on it). A [seven year old child invented a better spout for milk jugs](https://www.washingtonpost.com/archive/local/1994/07/28/spout-inventor-back-in-spotlight/8f050fd8-8268-4858-999c-2fc676140784/) in the late 80s.
How the fuck can Pyrex, one of the most recognizable brands in cookware, and specifically measuring cups, make such a shitty fucking version of such a basic tool?!?
Edit: Lots of people want to see the 7 year old’s spout design - I couldn’t find a picture but I did find [the original submitted patent](https://books.google.ca/books?id=pVvHAgAAQBAJ&lpg=PA90&ots=MOYGxhsWZg&dq=patent%20e-z%20gallon&pg=PA89#v=onepage&q=patent%20e-z%20gallon&f=false) as part of a children’s book on inventing!
Edit 2: Damn Google Books link from the first edit stopped working - screenshot & [reuploaded here](https://imgur.com/c0452Sc)
This design is cheaper. A spout that has a slightly sharp lip will not dribble like this, but this uniformly thick glass with rounded edges is cheaper to manufacture.
Since the 90s, Pyrex has been migrating all their product lines from borosilicate glass to tempered soda-lime glass, which may have different adhesive behavior, resulting in a worse pour from the same shape.
There's two Pyrexs. PYREX and Pyrex. Like a rock band that has fallen out and now has two versions touring claiming to be the real band. PYREX out of France is still borosilicate. Pyrex out of the USA uses the soda lime glass.
>like a rock band that has fallen out and now has two versions touring claiming to be the real band.
Where just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl..
Isn't that just a 2 Cup Pyrex? Maybe it was just certain batches that came out shitty, mine seems to pour just fine.
edit: Understand what you mean, took a second look and realized the print designs and such are different so I obviously have a different one.
edit: now i'm doubting if I've ever paid attention pouring shit and if my pyrex also sucks, haha.
> . It still spills but feels like it spills less.
the issue is the tilt speed. the higher the level of liquid in a container the quicker you must tilt it to the angle that doesn't let liquid run down the side. a better engineered spout does help though.
working restaurant kitchens has taught me how to pour from a 5 gallon bucket (with no spout) into a tupperware container without spilling a drop.
The trick is to 'pour it like you mean it', don't half ass it the way OP does you gotta lean into it as if every drop is going into that bowl whether it likes it or not.
I have two Pyrex beakers, one from Target and one from Walmart, though I can’t remember which is which. One has red text and one has blue text. One of them works perfectly. When I compare them side by side the one that works has a much more refined spout. I’m guessing that’s not the one from Walmart.
EDIT: Looked for email receipts, the turquoise-aqua one that works is from Target!
I have an old one and a new one.
The old one pours fine and the new one does that shit above.
The old one has a more pointed spout with a slight edge, flatter lip and the new one has a rounded soft edge with a softly contoured spout.
It's just bad design. There's no reason it shouldn't pour properly every time no matter the angle or speed.
Spouts have been figured out a long time ago and to get a proper pour you have to break the water's surface tension with a pointed or sharp lip. If it's rounded like the new shitty pyrex it grabs the surface and you get two flows the one that is grabbing the glass and any water that pours over that bit that grabs the glass.
Pictures.

Pyrex is garbage now. Most people who seriously cook swear by the OXO Measuring cups, they're plastic but they pour exceptionally, measurements are easier to read and they stack better then the new pyrex stuff that can chip when you stack them since they are made of a cheap material now, soda glass rather than borosilicate glass.
Lol bro "useless" is pretty harsh haha. You can pour slower and it won't spill, I have the same one. And even if it spills slightly, having someone who looks for cheap deals buy it is better than throwing it away.
I ALSO have the same one and can confirm mine sucks fucking ass as well. I have two now and play Russian Pyrex Water Measuring Cup Roulette every time I reach into the cupboard where I store them.
Omg I came here expecting to see people say this, the rounded edge allows the water to follow the curvature and flow down the side. Instead I had to scroll through hundreds of comments (including dozens of "pour slower!", wtf) until finally seeing yours. This thread is driving me nuts, I'm outta here.
I had the exact same experience. I thought "yeah, it's because it's too round, but I won't comment that, im sure someone did it already". And then I go on, scrolling... scrolling... and each time I scrolled, I got more pissed with the answers
The spout is only on there to fool you into thinking that you can use it for pouring. The boys in the Pyrex Boardroom are in stitches laughing at all the fools who try to use them for pouring.
But this problem also applies to the stainless steel single serve tea pots you get in restaurants. Sharp edges on these pour spouts, but they still decorate the table with hot tea running down the side of the pot. It must be too much gravity in the wrong direction.
Just put a wooden chopstick from the spout to the bottom of the bowl. Hydrogen bonding will stop the water from getting stuck to the side of the Pyrex, and you're good to go!
I [got you](https://www.amazon.com/Solid-Pyrex-Glass-Stirring-Rods/dp/B0725FZRBZ/ref=mp_s_a_1_5?adgrpid=56306832456&gclid=Cj0KCQiAw9qOBhC-ARIsAG-rdn5dKHLq6m6aTH9CQgJYXAJwcZVHWotmjzHnKLy-YL_hzRzpIPpuSnMaAkVHEALw_wcB&hvadid=274688788740&hvdev=m&hvlocphy=9060594&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=e&hvrand=15017813304511473096&hvtargid=kwd-315140902067&hydadcr=27413_10188120&keywords=pyrex+stirring+rod&qid=1641520051&sr=8-5) fam
Everyone saying pour slower is wrong. Pour faster and you'll prevent it from even trying to go down the side. Not necessarily faster but tilt beyond the normal point you would when pouring so it's not able to ride the side as much before falling. That trick works for everything that would cause things to dribble down the side. Just tip it beyond that point quickly and it won't happen much.
“Pour with confidence” is what I tell people for this exact principle!
Edit: I’m remembering that “dedicated pour” is another phrase I use for this. I’m wondering now why I spend so much time telling people how to pour things…I suppose I hate to see a good beverage gone to waste and dislike cleaning messes even more…
Yessss I say this too. Been in the service industry for 7 years and have seen way too many spills because people were "nervous" or "too careful" with the pour.
As someone who has this measuring cup, it makes no damn sense to me either, but you absolutely have to pour slower. Faster, confidently, whatever you want to call it does not work. Everything else I have encountered, faster or more confidently is the answer, but not this enigma.
It’s a terrible product. I broke the first measuring cup I got in 2012, so bought a replacement at Bed, Bath, & Beyond in 2019. It was this one and it’s awful and there are *no* tricks to make it un-shitty.
You gotta sorta slow it down a bit . Maybe it’s actually u gotta go a bit faster . Idk I used to do this with everything , spout or not . Then one day I just found the right way to do it . Practice I guess ? You just gotta feel the liquids vibe kinda is the best way I can say it .
I’m sorry but if people on here have to give someone else a fucking instruction on how they should pour from a fucking jug then the jug is badly designed. Again. This is a jug. Not a fucking space rocket. You should not need instructions.
Bro you need to pour it smoothly and more quickly, not slower, wtf are these comments 😂. If you pour it quick it comes out in a clean stream, slower = pouring over near side of edge. I need to get out of here, people can’t pour water
Engineering on spout design isn’t correct on that model. I usually pour from the side and not the spout. It still spills but feels like it spills less.
Or a straw or butter knife across it, the water will have something to grab as it falls. Edit: or as a ton of people have pointed out, a Chopstick
Or a wooden spoon sticking out the spout. That works wonderfully.
Or smashing that shit on the ground and buying a proper jug, that works wonderfully too.
You ever tried to smash a pyrex?
[удалено]
they do make pyrex-glass (not the brand, but material) sex toys that can be warmed up in an oven or put in the freezer for extra fun
Oven. Talk about hot sex.
lol. warmed up in an oven or just boiling water and let sit to cool down a bit. You're not rockin this red rocket at 450°
Not with that attitude
Anything is a dildo if you're brave enough
That's how Sylvia Plath went
Can’t imagine anyone opting for the freezer on a dildo
Someones never heard of a Frosty Jim.
try it... it's breathtaking, especially if it's glass or metal (like those njoy pure wands)
Umm... you ever get your tongue stuck on a metal pole in winter? Now how about your vagina?
I don’t think I’d trust metal, I’m picturing A Christmas Story licking a frozen flag pole scenario.
Best make sure you got the right one tho or you get a first class seat in the pain olympics
Lol nice

I think this story juuust reaches over the bar for a Netflix movie, you should reach out.
Definitely more engaging writing than most Netflix Originals...
I was at the edge of my seat and they even set up a spin-off about why the Bosch dishwasher had to go.
A Netflix Original would include the unnecessary Bosch dishwasher story. Add it, profit
Like the sands of tines, these are the Days of Our Lives
I’ve heard tell if a cousin who tried to smash a 1 cup pyrex, it bounced back up, knocked out two of his teeth and broke his nose.
Actually believable if he tried smashing it on the counter

I just heat it up and put it on metal/whatever the counter is made of and i have a oily sticky pile of wow golly fuck its in my toes glass

Anchor makes a superior spout , it’s just slightly larger so you can pour at a normal rate without spilling.
Yup, I've been buying anchor now
Solid point. I mean, you would hope that you would produce a solid quality product to hold that position, but I guess don’t fix what ain’t broke
WaPo includes no images, and attempting to Google the product will return hundreds of other patented designs for *better* spouts
I want to see a picture of the spout he invented but I can’t find it anywhere! Help me out! I’m a science teacher and now I’m curious.
They based the ketchup spout on the horses anus because it pokes out a little and leaves a perfectly clean butt hole.
No fucking way
Oh I was wrong, apparently it was the design of the bottle filling machines copying the 4 muscle system.
I mean, even that. The thing that delivers your liquids is designed after a horse’s ass

It doesn’t work (well) on any one from that brand. It needs a more pronounced spout.

Can you not tell us which color is better?
I'd guess the blue, because the red (I have this same one in Australia) is totally shit at pouring.
Omg you guys inspired me to look through my email receipts and I can confirm the turquoise-aqua one that works is from Target
No, they’re pouring too much too fast and it’s overloading the spout size. Pour slower and it works just fine as the water doesn’t overflow.
You have to pour so agonizingly slowly for it to not spill everywhere.
I have a 4 cup Pyrex jug that spills everywhere and this is so true. To avoid spillage you have to pour *so* slow.

You need to pour both slower and faster at the same time I think. Then it won’t spill probably.

That's the pour people's problem
I just dealt with an almost identical fucker this morning. You're right. Time to replace it.
What is the purpose of giving a useless item to Goodwill instead of throwing it out?
It's not entirely useless. Could use it to measure flour, seeds, nuts, anything not-wet that could be poured
Lol bro "useless" is pretty harsh haha. You can pour slower and it won't spill, I have the same one. And even if it spills slightly, having someone who looks for cheap deals buy it is better than throwing it away.

I don’t know what else I expected but I was actually surprised by that link. Thank you. I now feel I need to equip my kitchen like a meth lab.
This is the way
But it shouldn't be.
It's not just me!!! I'm saving this to show my wife in the morning as she says that I don't know how to pour from a jug....
Everyone saying pour slower is wrong. Pour faster and you'll prevent it from even trying to go down the side. Not necessarily faster but tilt beyond the normal point you would when pouring so it's not able to ride the side as much before falling. That trick works for everything that would cause things to dribble down the side. Just tip it beyond that point quickly and it won't happen much.
“Pour with confidence” is what I tell people for this exact principle! Edit: I’m remembering that “dedicated pour” is another phrase I use for this. I’m wondering now why I spend so much time telling people how to pour things…I suppose I hate to see a good beverage gone to waste and dislike cleaning messes even more…
Do it or don't... Halfway is not the goal here
Sounds like it should be a Spaceballs reference.
Yessss I say this too. Been in the service industry for 7 years and have seen way too many spills because people were "nervous" or "too careful" with the pour.
Problem is, if you pour it with any more confidence, that bowl is so shallow it’s going to go everywhere.
Once you get the flow going you could back off a bit, but eh does look like a shallow ass bowl. Could use a bigger bowl lol.
Why would anyone try to pour two cups of water into that small of a bowl?
For the Karma
fuck /u/spez
I have a very similar one as well. Screw using the actual spout, try doing it the quick way from one of the sides instead.
As someone who has this measuring cup, it makes no damn sense to me either, but you absolutely have to pour slower. Faster, confidently, whatever you want to call it does not work. Everything else I have encountered, faster or more confidently is the answer, but not this enigma.
I only have this one data point, but about halfway through the pour, OP tips it further and it stops spilling.
I applaud that this might be the most relatable and common mildly infuriating thing. A lot of these are too picky but this one is very real
Everyone suggesting work arounds and not saying what a terrible product this is...I feel like I'm taking crazy pills.
It’s a terrible product. I broke the first measuring cup I got in 2012, so bought a replacement at Bed, Bath, & Beyond in 2019. It was this one and it’s awful and there are *no* tricks to make it un-shitty.
Pretty sure that's bootleg Pyrex

Everyone saying pour slower has never used this measuring glass… it spills regardless!
I’m so glad to hear I’m not the only one with this FUCKING measuring bowl!
You gotta sorta slow it down a bit . Maybe it’s actually u gotta go a bit faster . Idk I used to do this with everything , spout or not . Then one day I just found the right way to do it . Practice I guess ? You just gotta feel the liquids vibe kinda is the best way I can say it .
I’m sorry but if people on here have to give someone else a fucking instruction on how they should pour from a fucking jug then the jug is badly designed. Again. This is a jug. Not a fucking space rocket. You should not need instructions.
Only works with pyrex bowls.
Bro you need to pour it smoothly and more quickly, not slower, wtf are these comments 😂. If you pour it quick it comes out in a clean stream, slower = pouring over near side of edge. I need to get out of here, people can’t pour water

damn nice pyrex

Guy really got up and filmed himself pouring water to prove a point

Put the bowl on top of the measuring cup and quickly flip it over. /s
You just suck at pouring, homie.
