I got one of the half liter glass Pyrex cups. It is marked in liters and, like the one pictured, in English pints which are 20 ounces. The reverse side has weight markings for flour and sugar. I use a scale personally.

I'm currently building up a collection of LeCreuset. I was gifted one of their Tart tatine dishes. Will have to try one with pear this winter.

The Corning visions. A friend was working for a company that was giving away 10 or 12 ounce little pans. I ended up with a case. I found them great for individual left over servings or vegetables in the microwave.
