Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion from cups to ounces?
The conversion from cups to ounces is precise when using the standard US measurement where 1 cup equals exactly 8 oz. Variations can occur with different measurement standards or ingredient densities, but for liquids, this given ratio is reliable.
Can I use this conversion for dry ingredients like sugar or flour?
While the cup-to-oz ratio remains the same, dry ingredients like sugar or flour have different densities, so their weight in ounces varies. For precise baking, using weight measurements is more accurate than volume conversions.
What if my recipe calls for imperial or UK measurements?
UK or imperial measurements differ, with 1 cup generally equaling about 10 imperial fluid ounces. Always check the measurement system your recipe specifies, as the conversion factor changes accordingly.
