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 quart (qt) is a unit of volume measurement.
A single quart is equal to 32 fluid ounces (fl oz), 2 pints, or 4 cups.
It is a key measurement in both the imperial and United States customary systems. The plural form is quarts.
The word "quart" comes from the Latin word quartus, meaning "a fourth part."
This name is a direct clue to its size: a quart is exactly one-quarter of a gallon. This simple relationship makes it an easy-to-remember unit.
It's crucial to know that the US and Imperial (UK) quarts are not the same size. While both systems are related, their definitions for a quart differ significantly.
This difference is critical to remember when converting recipes or measurements between countries.
The United States customary system also distinguishes between a liquid quart and a dry quart.
A liquid quart is used for liquids like milk or oil, while a dry quart measures the volume of dry goods like berries or flour.
They are not the same volume.
