Put a lid on it
Measuring cups can wind up in the middle of plenty of messes. From dripping liquids while pouring to getting used as temporary storage containers, it's easy to see how a lid on a measuring cup could avoid a lot of clean up. The Pyrex 8-Cup Measuring Cup with Cover includes a lid that can be turned to either protect the contents of the cup, to pour off liquids while keeping solids in the cup, to sift, to sprinkle, or to simply pour. The measuring cup is a typical Pyrex measuring cup--safe for use in the oven, microwave, refrigerator, freezer, and dishwasher--while the lid is plastic. Lidded versions of Pyrex's 4-cup and 2-cup measuring cups are also available.
The Pyrex 8-Cup Measuring Cup with a Cover makes food preparation a bit easier. The ability to store liquids in the measuring cup between meals can come in handy if you don't have the time or inclination to move leftovers to another container. If you're not particularly worried about serving dishes, the measuring cup can be an ideal way to get gravy and other liquids out to the table without having to worry about spills. The measuring cup is priced at $14.99.
