Jar measure
I love reusing glass.
Recently, I bought some refrigerated red grapefruit slices in a jar (yes, I'm too lazy to scoop my own grapefruit, but I still want the nutrition). When I peeled off the label, I found the glass graduated in half cup increments, up to two cups. Not unheard of, of course, but something I haven't seen in a while.
After washing and air-drying the jar, I decided to test the accuracy of the levels against my Pyrex measure. And found that it's certainly accurate enough for everyday cooking:
As I only have one two-cup liquid measure, it's kind of nice to have another on hand (for free, no less). And if I wanted to prepare an ingredient ahead, and refrigerate, the lid makes that easy.
