A Glas is a unit of volume in the metric system, equal to 0.2 Liters (l) or 200 milliliters (mL).
It's a simple and practical measurement, and its plural form is also "Glas."
As you might guess from the name, "Glas" is the German word for a drinking "glass."
This unit of volume originates from the typical size of a standard drinking glass in Germany and other German-speaking countries.
While not an official SI unit, it's a common, practical measurement you'll often see in German recipes for cakes or for serving everyday beverages like milk or juice.
Understanding how a Glas converts to other common units is essential for cooking and everyday use.
Since one Glas is exactly 200 mL, its conversions are very straightforward.
The Glas serves as a convenient bridge between other common metric volume units, highlighting its practical size for kitchen measurements.
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.
