FAQs
Are these measuring cups safe for the oven?
These cups are heat-resistant for microwave use, but they are not intended for use inside an oven.
Can I store the cups in the freezer?
While the glass is robust, we recommend avoiding rapid temperature transitions, such as moving directly from the freezer to a hot microwave.
Do the markings wash off over time?
The scales are designed to be fade-resistant; however, avoiding harsh chemicals and abrasive cleaning tools will keep them visible for much longer.
Are the lids airtight?
The lids provide a secure cover for storage and organization but are not classified as vacuum-sealed or leak-proof airtight containers.
What is the material used?
They are crafted from premium borosilicate glass, known for its clarity and resistance to thermal shock.
Troubleshooting
Measurements are becoming difficult to read
Avoid using abrasive scouring pads when cleaning to prevent scratching the glass and fading the printed scales.
Lid feels tight or difficult to snap on
Ensure both the rim of the glass and the lid are clean and dry; a slight warming of the lid under warm water can increase its flexibility.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
These cups are ready for immediate use upon arrival. While the material is dishwasher safe, it is recommended to hand wash using a soft sponge to preserve the integrity of the measurement scales over time. Always ensure the cups are at room temperature before introducing liquids of extreme temperature differences to avoid thermal stress. The cups are fully compatible with microwave use, though it is advised to remove the lid before heating to allow steam to escape.
