Big Ray Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I asked about the Norpro silicone cups a couple months ago and I just used them. They work just like everyone says. My plastic stays hot longer and when I clipped the cup it has a narrow pouring spout. In my opinion they are way better for pouring then the Pyrex cups.

Jig Man Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 I switched to them a few years ago. I use them for everything except pouring swirls. The only drawback I've seen is they get slick on the bottom for some reason. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MonteSS Posted July 7, 2015 Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Great cups. NEVER fill them more than halfway and ALWAYS use a glove Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Big Ray Posted July 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted July 7, 2015 Yeah Monte I agree. I use a glove and a rag because they get super hot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Painter1 Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 I am wondering if there is a way to insulate them after coming out of the microwave. Maybe a modified Koozie, like we use to keep a canned drink cold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe a modified Koozie, like we use to keep a canned drink cold?Should be easy to make something suitable from 1/4" foam with a glued overlap of an inch or so. Tie some string across the bottom, just for safety, to stop the cup dropping through.Dave Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jig Man Posted July 8, 2015 Report Share Posted July 8, 2015 (edited) I did that cup insulator thingy a couple of years ago. I have 2 of them to keep the plastisol warm longer in the winter. I used foam and gaffer's tape. They only cover the bottom 1/2 of the cup but that is a full as I get them. They work pretty well.
