![]() Dry measuring cups are most commonly available in 1/4-cup, 1/3-cup, 1/2-cup and 1-cup sizes. Unlike liquid measuring cups, they are meant to be filled right to the top. Read the level from the bottom of the curve.ĭry measuring cups are made of metal or plastic and have flat tops. There will be a very slight curve to the liquid (technically known as the meniscus). When measuring liquids, you`ll get the most accurate reading if you place the measuring cup on a level surface and look at it straight on when the liquid has settled. The most common sizes are 1-cup, 2-cup, 4-cup and 8-cup. For ease of handling, there is a space between the marked increment and the top of the cup. A liquid measuring cup is usually made of glass or clear plastic and has a pouring lip. However, there are two different designs for measuring cups, one of which is more appropriate for liquids, another for dry ingredients. I once added 1 Pack of dry yeast and 1 cake of yeast ask me how bubbley and holey and yeasty my bread came out?! So gross lol.I read pack and cake instead of 1 Pack or 1 cake lol.have a great day I gotta go pick up kiddos.A-Indeed, a cup is a cup and measured correctly, they will always be equal. Yes it does make a huge difference in measuring correctly.yikes. You are wicked funny girl I really dig your sense of humor here. That person went out on a limb for her friend. You could be fired for nepotism, or perhaps you went above your bosses head to get your friend a job. This is meaning someone has put themselves in a very precarious position to help another person, ex./ a job opening is coming up and has not publicly posted but you found out about it and told your friend to apply for the job before it posted. The limbs bow and bend unable to carry any real weight and can break easily. This translates to someone in a tree at the very end of the branch called a limb. ![]() The saying is this, I’m going out on a limb for you so don’t let me down. Above in your post you wrote “I’m going out on a limp here”. Hi there, scrolling through all of the wonderful women who go to the trouble to post these life savers and thought I should do you the same favor. Dry ingredients are scooped in then leveled off. Liquid ingredients are poured in and filled to the appropriate lines. It’s like this for dry ingredients so you can take a knife or spatula and ‘level’ it off to give an even cup or whatever you’re measurement is. For the dry measuring cup the line is the top of the cup. When measuring, the line for the liquid cup is under the the top of the cup (right before the spout). Now if you’re a visual person think of this this way: Now this may not be that much of a difference in cooking but in baking it can make a world of difference? It can mean the difference between a “meh” cake and an “AMAZING” cake. One dry cup is equal to 1.1636 liquid cup, or a little more than 2 (liquid) ounces more. Let me get my engineer’s cap on for a minute. You really can’t get it level due to the spout. Now, imagine trying to level out flour or rice in a liquid measuring cup. ![]() If you’re measuring a liquid by pouring right to the tippy top of a dry measuring cup you’re just asking for a spill or mess (trust me, I’ve done this). So then really, why do you need both types? Liquid measuring cups generally have a pour spout and are made to be filled to the gradations on the side of the cup (1/4 cup, 1/2 cup, 6 oz, etc.) rather than being filled right up to the top. What’s the difference between dry measuring cups and liquid measuring cups?ĭry measuring cups are meant to be filled right up to the top and then leveled off with a straight edge. No? Maybe? Don’t care? LOL Hey, you better care there buckaroo! □ do you know why you should measure the dry ingredients in the dry measuring cup and the liquid in the liquid ones? ![]() Or if you’re one of those 6 homes that have both dry and liquid measuring cups, why do you have them? Well wait…. You’re probably sitting there right now thinking if you’re one of those 4 people. And this one set is used to measure both dry and liquid ingredients… right? C’mon admit it. I am going out on a limb here and estimating that at least 4 out of every 10 homes now only has 1 set of measuring cups. ![]()
