Conversion FAQs
Why does 1 cup always equal 8 oz in recipes?
This is based on the US customary measurement system, where 1 cup is standardized to 8 fluid ounces to maintain consistency in cooking and baking, though it can vary in other measurement standards like the UK.
Can I use this conversion for dry ingredients?
While the formula applies for liquids, dry ingredients may require different conversions because their density varies; measuring weight is more accurate for dry goods than volume in cups and ounces.
How accurate is the conversion from cups to ounces?
The conversion is precise for liquids in the US system, with 1 cup always being 8 oz. However, slight variations can occur with different measuring tools or measurement standards, so for exact recipes, using a scale is better.
What if my cups are not US standard cups?
If your cups are from another system, such as UK or metric cups, the conversion differs. For UK cups, 1 cup is about 10 oz, so multiply accordingly. Always check the measurement standard used.
Is the conversion different for metric measurements?
Yes, metric cups are different, usually 250 milliliters, which is approximately 8.45 fluid ounces, slightly more than the US standard. Conversion depends on the measurement system used, so verify the standard first.
