Cup is a standard size for measuring liquids: 8 fl oz. It's only a problem for flour, because how much you can fit in a cup varies depending on humidity and how much you pack it.
- suttol 6y agoExcept one cup in metric is 250 ml, not the ~236ml that a US cup is.
- schwartzworld 6y agoThanks! Didn't know that.
- suttol 6y agoTo add to this, there are at least 3 "cup" sizes for liquid: metric (~250ml), the US version (above, ~236ml) and an imperial cup (~284ml).
- Asraelite 6y agoA metric cup is exactly 250ml though, not approximately, right?
- colanderman 6y agoAlso the Japanese cup [1], which is 200 mL. I (American) have come across it twice (a rice cooker, and a dandan recipe). [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_%28unit%29#Japanese_cup https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cup_%28unit%29#Japanese_cup
