Measure dry by volume, otherwise you'll have fun making density corrections. A liter is about a quart and there's 4 cups per quart so figure a cup is about 250

A liter is about a quart and there's 4 cups per quart so figure a cup is about 250 mL volume. Or a half cup would be about 125 mL, etc.
WRT liquid most medical types like to think a teaspoon is about 5 mL and a tablespoon is three teaspoons aka 15 mL.
Good luck with pastry and cake recipes, those require real precision. Everything else, just get the ratios about right and you'll be fine.
- lfowles 11y agoMeasure compactible dry by weight*. A "cup" of flour can be anywhere from 4-8oz, but is commonly 4oz when a cup is called for in a recipe.
- thaumasiotes 11y agoYeah... I hate recipes calling for "X amount brown sugar (packed)"...
- lfowles 11y agoI have several boxes of brown sugar handed down to me from my parents years ago.... I just get out a serrated knife and cut out X amount packed! ;)
