How big is a cup?

[DanSM]

Quick question, in ml or ounces how much is a standard 'cup'?

 

[mudbug]

8 fluid ounces and 16 tablespoons dry. I think that's right.

 

[Alix]

8 oz or 225ml

I thought a cup was 8 oz or 250 ml??? Ok someone's got some splaining to do.....

A US cup is 8-0z, 16 US tablespoons, or 236 ml.

An English cup is 10 imperial oz - or 20 4/5 US tablespoons, or 284 ml.

This is an example of why we should be weighing dry ingredients.

 

[Michael in FtW]

It's a good reason to go metric all the way around, southerncook!

 

[norgeskog]

If the memory is still instact, a cup i.e. w/saucer is usually 6 oz and a mug is between 8 and 10. If I am wrong I will be corrected here soon.

Which prompts my warped sense of humour to say
