In some recipes it has measurements of a cup. How much is this in ounces.?

Question

I've recently been looking at some american recipes and need to adjust weights to onces.

Answer 1

It depends whats going in the cup. For instance a cup of rice crispies will weigh a lot less than a cup of dry rice.



Look at the link below, it gives the weight for most foods, from Almonds, chopped to Wheat flour. Unfortunately for you the weights are in grams not ounces.

Answer 2

In America they use an 8fl oz measuring cup while in Australia it's a metric 250ml version. the imperial pint is used in Britain and Aust. which is 20 fl oz in America a pint is 16 fl oz. It all makes cooking more fun NOT.

A general rule of thumb is when measuring ingredients just use the same size cup and alter quantity inside according to the recipe a rough guide for dry goods is 1lb butter is equal to 2 cups American, 1lb flour 4 cups, 1lb sugar 2 cups 1lb icing sugar 3 cups 8oz rice 1 cup.

hope this helps, Have fun

Answer 5

1 cup is 8oz, 1/2 cup is 4oz. And of course, 2 cups is 16oz. I think most cook books have the equivalents usually in the back of the book before the index.
