Wouldn't a beaker be better than a flask, since its easier to pour into, and it takes up less verticle space?

I just ordered a 2L from this place. I'm hoping it's of decent quality, but I guess I'll have to wait and find out.
Probably, should work about the same. Personally I think the flask looks cooler and makes me feel like a mad scientist.
TucsonTRD said:I just cancelled this order when they told me the flask was on backorder.
I ended up ordering one from here.
This seems to be the exact same flask posted earlier in this thread from amazon, except significantly cheaper.

Do you have a private account with Fisher, or are you part of a university/research company? Our club is looking to do a big glass order for starter making, and everyone is really jealous of the 3000ml E-flask I borrowed from the lab.
If you're using a stir plate it doesn't really mater what you use, Erlenmeyer invented his flask so you could stir the contents inside one handedly by swirling it around. So unless you are hand agitating the starter, you can use any glass container.

Not entirely true. In my experiences some glass containers have rounded bottoms that make it difficult for the stirbar to sit
I have a 500ml and a 2000ml Erlenmeyer flasks but I for really big starters I will then step up to a one gallon pickle jar which has a concave bottom I was happy to discover my stir-bar and DYI stir-plate have no difficult doing their thing on the concave bottom, they also work with mason jars.Not entirely true.
