Vankcp 6 Pieces 1000ML/34Oz Funnel Pitcher Liquid Measuring Cup Set for Soap Making Review (2026)

Why six pitchers help with swirl work

A single large pitcher works fine for a plain one color pour, but any soap design that layers or swirls multiple colors benefits from having several matching containers ready to go at the same time, since colored soap can seize or start to set while you are still measuring out the next shade. This set gives six identical 1000ml, roughly 34oz pitchers, which is enough for most home soapers to split a batch into four to six colors without hunting for mismatched containers around the kitchen. Having them all the same size and shape also makes side by side pouring more even, since you are not compensating for one pitcher being narrower or taller than another mid pour.

Capacity and measuring marks

Each pitcher holds up to 1000ml or about 34 ounces, a practical size for splitting a standard size soap batch into multiple colors without the portions being so small that pouring becomes fiddly. The pitchers carry printed measuring marks along the side in roughly 100ml increments, which helps when you want to divide a batch evenly across the colors rather than eyeballing the split. That kind of built in scale is handy for repeatable recipes, since you can note down how much went into each pitcher and reproduce the same swirl proportions on a later batch, which is harder to do with plain unmarked containers.

Build and material

The pitchers are made from food-grade PP plastic, which is a fair fit for cold process soap work since the lye solution and traced batter are within the range this type of plastic generally tolerates during normal use. The funnel spout and pour design are aimed at controlled, accurate pouring into molds, muffin pans, or other narrow openings rather than free pouring from a wide-mouth container. Being plastic rather than glass, the set is lighter to handle with six pitchers full of batter at once and more forgiving if one gets bumped during a pour, though it will not have the same heat tolerance as glass or metal options.

Where the design falls short

The listing itself says the pitcher can go in the microwave to melt soap for up to about three minutes, so it is meant to handle some direct heat rather than only cold process trace, but repeated short blasts of melting are a different load than holding very hot melt and pour base for a long pour, and thin plastic can still soften with extended high heat exposure. It is worth erring on the side of shorter, lower heat melts and letting very hot base cool slightly before a long pour to protect the plastic over time. The stopper style spout is convenient for controlled pouring but can start to leak or drip if soap residue or color builds up around the seal over repeated uses, which means the pitchers need a thorough rinse between colors to keep pours clean.

Bottom line

For makers doing layered or swirled cold process soap, having six matching, measured pitchers on hand solves a real logistical problem that a single large container cannot, letting you prep several colors at once and pour them in quick succession before the batter sets. The tradeoffs are mostly about heat and long term seal wear rather than capacity or accuracy, so treat these as cold process and light warm pour tools rather than a home for very hot melt and pour base. For the price of a six piece set, they are a sensible addition to a soap making station.
