Measuring Cups for Dry Ingredients – To guarantee that the proper amount of ingredients is contained within each dry measuring cup, level them off with a butter knife or something comparable. Although dry materials might have the same volume, they may not have the same weight.

How do I measure Oz in dry?

Ounces vs. Fluid Ounces: They Aren’t the Same! – Ounces are a unit of weight. Fluid ounces are a unit of volume. If measuring water, one fluid ounce weighs exactly one ounce of weight, however this ratio can change depending on the density of what you are measuring.

The good news is that most of the time, one fluid ounce of any liquid you’d use in cooking will weigh close enough to an ounce that it shouldn’t throw your final results off too much. Our friend Stella Parks has this to say about ounces vs. fluid ounces: “I’d like to go back in time and punch the guy who thought it’d be a good idea to force two different systems of measurement to share the same name.” We concur.

It can be very confusing. If a recipe calls for eight ounces of chocolate chips, is that eight ounces on a scale (weight), or a one-cup dry measure filled with chocolate chips (volume)? The convention in the US is this: If a dry ingredient is listed in ounces, it’s a unit of weight and should be measured on a scale.

If a wet ingredient is listed in ounces, it’s fluid ounces and should be measured in a wet measuring cup. Chocolate chips, oats, flour, pasta, and rice are all things that would be listed in ounces (weight), while water, stock, milk, cream, honey, or oil would all be listed in fluid ounces (volume). The exception to this rule is when a baking recipe very clearly lists weights before volumes.

In that case, every ingredient should be measured by weight on a scale. For instance, Kenji’s New York-style pizza dough lists weights as the primary measure with approximate volumes in parentheses and is a recipe designed to be completed 100% on a scale with no liquid or dry measuring cups required.

  1. At Serious Eats, many of our serious baking projects are listed in this manner.
  2. This is because we feel very strongly that using a scale and measuring ingredients—wet or dry—by weight is the best, most accurate way to guarantee consistency in your baking projects.* * By extension, any time you see a serious baking recipe that offers only measurements in volume and not in mass it should immediately set off alarms in your head.

Perhaps you should look for a different recipe!

Ask a Gear Head It might seem like a pain, but there’s a reason you should keep both sets on hand. By Published May 16, 2022. Dear Gear Heads, I see people on TV using one set of measuring cups for liquids and another set for dry ingredients like flour and sugar. Is that really necessary? I have a small kitchen and I hate doing dishes, so I’d really prefer to buy (and use and clean) only what I really need.

Thanks, Jean in Alliance, Ohio Liquid measuring cups and dry measuring cups have one big thing in common: They hold the same volume. A 1-cup liquid measuring cup and a 1-cup dry measuring cup, for example, both equal 16 tablespoons. But the experts on TV are correct: You can’t use them interchangeably.

(I hate doing dishes, too, Jean. But hear me out.) We’ve tested using dry and liquid measuring cups interchangeably, and the results are clear: For the best and most accurate results, you should use liquid measuring cups to measure liquids and dry measuring cups to measure dry ingredients.
