How does person 5/8 ounces a cup of liquid. None of my measuring cups have 5/8 on them Please help.
goodgiver, 5/8 of anything is just 1/8 more than 4/8 which is 1/2 of it. I am sure your cup has a 1/2 mark. So fill it to the mark and then eyeball the remaining 1/8 (ie a little bit more) rather than resorting to higher mathematics.goodgiver said:How does person 5/8 ounces a cup of liquid.

Most measuring cups have flared sides anyway. Nevertheless this should not be an obstacle to anyone who wants to sharpen their capacity of estimating. As for the assumed exactitude of any recipe, I would take it with a big grain of salt.jennyema said:If the measuring cup has flared sides, sometimes it's hard to eyeball.
If the recipe demands an exact measurement, IMO you are better off measuring out 1/2 cup and then adding 2T like katie suggested.

Good for you Sararwelch! Now look around to see if you can find one with subdivisions of 1/16.Sararwelch said:I bought a cheap set of plastic measuring cups - they were literally like 99 cents, and they include a 1/8 measurement. It actually comes in handy sometimes!

JDP, in your opinion, would cooking be possible if there were no measuring cups?JDP said:What you are looking for is 5 oz. Many measurting cups have oz marks as well as cup marks. JDP
