Hi, Jonathan:
Thanks for your input! You know, I cant remember from whom I specifically
heard about liquids and solids measuring differently in measuring cups, but
Ive 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 cant clear this up.
I dont 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 wont 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, Ill 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 cant 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
