Conversion Definitions
cup
A cup is a volume measurement used in cooking, equal to 8 fluid ounces in the US customary system, commonly used to measure liquids and bulk ingredients, and varies slightly in metric and imperial systems but generally accepted as 8 oz.
oz
Ounce (oz) is a unit of weight or volume measurement. In fluid ounces, it measures volume for liquids, where 1 fluid ounce equals approximately 29.57 milliliters in the US system, used to specify small quantities of liquids or ingredients.
Conversion FAQs
How accurate is the conversion from cups to ounces?
The conversion is highly accurate when using the standard of 1 cup equals 8 ounces for liquids. However, for dry ingredients, the weight-to-volume ratio can vary, so for precise baking, using a scale is recommended rather than volume measurements alone.
Can I use this conversion for dry ingredients?
No, because dry ingredients have different densities. For example, 1 cup of flour does not weigh the same as 1 cup of sugar. The 8 oz per cup rule applies mainly to liquids, so dry measurements require specific conversions based on ingredient type.
Does the conversion change with different measurement systems?
Yes, in imperial or metric systems, the volume of a cup can differ. The 8 oz per cup standard is specific to US customary measurements. Other countries may have slightly different sizes, so always check which measurement system is used when converting.
