    Is A Dry Cup The Same As A Wet Cup?

    A liquid measuring cup and a dry measuring cup technically hold the same volume, the way you measure them is different. For example, when measuring something like a cup of dry flour, you need to be able to level it off in a measuring cup for an exact measurement. It’s hard to do that using a liquid measuring cup.

    What You Need For Measuring

    These three tools are used for measuring dry and liquid ingredients.

    Liquid measuring cup – A liquid measuring cup typically has a pouring spout, measurement lines, and a little extra room at the top to make sure the liquid doesn’t spill. They are also made with a clear, see through material to make it easy to measure. These cups are use to measure any liquid or fluid ingredient.

    These measuring cups are used when a recipe call for ingredients like oil, water, milk, and more.

    Dry measuring cup – These dry measuring cups have a flat top with no spout. The perfect shape for being able to level off the ingredients. A great method for leveling is using the flat side of a butter knife to scrape over the top of the cup.

    You can usually buy these in a set of different cup sizes. These measuring cups are used to measure different ingredients like sugar, flour, breadcrumbs, and more.

    Measuring spoon – Measuring spoons are teaspoons and tablespoons and can be used to measure both dry ingredients like spices and wet ingredients like vanilla extract.
