US cups. In the image below both cups appear to be full of flour. The official size of a US cup is This isn't a huge problem as long as you know which you own. A bigger problem is that not all cups sold are hugely accurate.
I own two sets of measuring cups, and neither holds the amount they're supposed to. If you've got a recipe such as scones or shortcrust pastry that need cold butter straight from the fridge, how do you get it into the cup to measure it? Imagine measuring walnuts. If you put them into a cup whole, you're going to fit in a lot less than if you finely chop them before adding them to the cup.
There are also some ingredients such as Nutella or Black Treacle that are tricky to remove from the cup after filling. It's unlikely that you'll get everything out that you put in so you may well end up adding less to your mixture than the recipe calls for. Many sets of scales have a tare button which allows you to rest the scales to 0 so you can keep measuring more ingredients into one bowl.
The is great as it means you can pour in everything you need for your mixture without getting lots of extra measuring utensils dirty. Imagine you've got a recipe that calls for a cup of butter, flour, maple syrup and Nutella not too sure what you'd be making!
To get an accurate measurement, you'll need to either own lots of cups or wash the cup up between each ingredient before you can measure the next one. Print it out, take a screenshot or save it to a board on Pinterest!

The cup measurements are approximate as there may be variations according to brands, how the ingredients are measured, and how the scales are calibrated.
Please scroll to the bottom to see my notes on converting grams to cups. Note: For most recipes, the difference between a US cup measure and those used in other countries is unlikely to affect the recipe. Hence, you will find that many publications will treat cup measures as the same in all countries. As an Australian, I grew up learning and using the metric system which is based on weights.
Measuring ingredients in the kitchen typically involves a scale, although the Australian system is also impartial to measuring cups; I grew up learning to measure many wet and dry ingredients with measuring cups, whilst hard-to-measure ingredients like meat and vegetables were weighed using scales.
Since starting this blog, I have had to convert many of my recipes over to the American system which relies heavily on measuring cups and measuring spoons.
I find using weights to be a more accurate measurement than using measuring cups and spoons, especially in baking which requires exact measurements for a more successful result. And maybe because I grew up weighing ingredients, I find it to be quicker and easier.
Whilst using measuring cups and spoons can often be more convenient than pulling out the kitchen scale, they are more prone to giving inaccurate measurements as the weight can vary depending on whether the ingredients have been loosely, lightly or tightly packed. Also, not all measuring cups and spoons are accurately calibrated ; I have many beautiful and colourful measuring cups from Anthrolopogie which are, sadly, not accurate at all. Personally, I always weigh my ingredients when baking.
But when I am cooking a savoury dish like a stew or stir-fry, I tend to rely on measuring cups more often for convenience. When using measuring cups or spoons , my preference is to use a brand like Cuisipro or Tupperware , which can be found in many professional kitchens and which can be relied upon to give accurate measurements. To measure dry ingredients like flour or icing sugar powdered sugar , you should scoop the ingredient into the measuring cup or spoon, then use a flat palette knife or similar to tap the ingredient into the vessel to fill any air pockets, and finally use the palette knife to level off the ingredient.
For liquid ingredients , I recommend using a glass Pyrex measuring jug which should be placed flat on the kitchen counter and read at eye-level when you are taking the measurement. For small quantities up to 2 tablespoons , I use one of those tiny measuring shot glasses.
