Measuring container with heat dissipating section

A container comprising:

• a base;
• and
• a side wall integrally formed with and extending upwardly from the base to define an interior volume for holding a substance,
• the side wall and the base being formed from a microwave-safe material;
• the side wall having an outer side wall surface facing toward ambient and an inner side wall surface facing toward the interior volume,
• the side wall having a first region in which a wall structure is located offsetting the outer side wall surface on the wall structure from a recessed outer surface, which is offset outwardly from the inner side wall surface and inwardly from the outer side wall surface on the wall structure, wherein the side wall is configured to be gripped by a user's hand in the first region and the wall structure allows for air pockets to form between the user's hand and the recessed outer surface,
• wherein the side wall includes a second region devoid of the wall structure, wherein the side wall is more opaque in at least a portion of the second region and along the wall structure as compared to the recessed outer surface,
• wherein the side wall includes a third region also being devoid of the wall structure, wherein the side wall is more opaque in the second region and along the wall structure as compared to the third region, wherein the second region surrounds the third region and graduation marks are provided within the third region.

• wherein the side wall includes a second region devoid of the wall structure,
• wherein a thickness of the side wall measured in the second region of the side wall is equal to a thickness of the side wall measured in the first region of the side wall through the wall structure, and a thickness of the side wall in the first region measured between the recessed outer surface and the inner side wall surface is less than the thickness of the side wall in the first region of the side wall through the wall structure.
