A cup is a unit of volume measurement equal to 8 fluid ounces (fl oz).
It's one of the most common measurements used in recipes for cooking and baking, especially in the United States.
While they share the same name, not all cups are created equal.
A US customary cup is defined as 8 US fluid ounces (approximately 237 milliliters).
However, the metric cup used in countries like Australia, Canada, and New Zealand is standardized to 250 milliliters.
This slight difference is crucial to remember when following international recipes to ensure the correct ingredient proportions.

The name of the measurement isn't a coincidence. Before standardized units became common, recipes relied on informal measurements using everyday kitchenware.
The "cup" literally referred to the volume of a standard teacup. Over time, this was standardized into the precise unit we use today.
Although the unit of volume (8 fl oz) remains the same, the tools used to measure dry and liquid ingredients differ for a reason.
Using the wrong type can lead to inaccurate measurements.
A Kanna is a traditional unit of volume from Sweden, equal to 2.617 liters.
The word itself means "can," "pot," or "jug" in Swedish, directly reflecting its use as a container for measuring.
The correct plural form is Kannor, a term you'll find in historical records and recipes.
The Kanna has deep roots in Swedish history, serving as a standard unit of measurement long before the country adopted the metric system in 1889.
This measurement was a part of everyday life, used in homes and markets all across Sweden to measure everything from milk and spirits to dry goods.
The Kanna was part of a larger system of units, where a stop was half a Kanna, and a tunna (or barrel) was made up of 48 Kannor.
To help you visualize this volume, one Kanna is approximately the size of a large 2-liter soda bottle.
