Hi susan,
There are 16 oz. in a cup.

1 tablespoon is equal to three teaspoons,

Hi, Jonathan:
Thanks for your input! You know, I can’t remember from whom I specifically
heard about liquids and solids measuring differently in measuring cups, but
I’ve heard it from more than one person. What you say here makes a lot of
sense to me. Is there a converter available that converts cups, spoon
measurements, etc. into ounces? Thanks a lot, Jon!
Susan
P.S.: I was making a recipe for Coffee Liqueur bread pudding with Caramel
Sauce. It is delicious, I must say! And so was the southwestern veggie bake
that I made! Took both to a party last night.

Let me see if I can’t clear this up.
I don’t know where you are hearing that a substance, whether it be a powder,
granular substance, or a liquid of any kind, would measure differently in a
glass measuring cup than it would in cups that are more often use to measure
dry ingredients. They measure exactly the same, regardless. Perhaps the
confusion you are encountering is understanding the difference between ounces
of weight or ounces by volume? If you want an explanation of that, just ask,
but I won’t go into that just now. For me, when it comes to measuring a lot of
different substances, I often attempt to weigh them on my talking digital
scale. For example, if a salad dressing recipe asks for two thirds of a cup of
oil, rather than try to fill a one third measure two times, I’ll ask my Alexa
or other smart device how much a cup of that oil weighs in grams, then weigh it
out on the scale. But of course, there would be nothing wrong with using a one
third cup measure two times to get two thirds of a cup. As for the two cup
glass or pyrex measuring cups, I have one, but I never use it to measure
anything. I can’t read the markings, and a liquid level indicator would be of
no use for measuring most amounts. Perhaps, if you told me the specific
situation that prompted your question, I could suggest how I might deal with
the issue as efficiently as possible.

Subject: [blindcooks] Measuring Cup Question
Good morning, list:
I currently do not have a glass measuring cup. I understand that liquids
measure differently than other more solid items, including powders. I only
have the plastic measuring cups. Is there a way that I can use them to measure
liquids, say, a cup and a quarter for a cup or something similar? Thanks!
Susan
