Unless the cup is transparent, I always fill it to the top. However, I DO prefer to just use my big Pyrex measuring cup that has pint/quart, fl. oz., and mL markings. If the recipe calls for 1 cup, I fill it to the line, spin the cup around, and wonder WHY couldn't they just put 250 mL on the package!?!
But yea, John Mercer made a good point about online recipes. A cup is not a cup everywhere... the SI is Standard Internationally. ;-) jason On Friday 20 February 2004 18:34, Chimpsarecute wrote: > Is there anyone on this list who when measuring with cups is particular to > filling it to the exact 1 cup mark. If you do, why? -- "It is safe to say that after the metric system has been adopted by the U.S. and our people have become accustomed to its use we would no more dream of going back to the present system of weights and measures than we would think of carrying on the processes of arithmetic through the medium of the old Roman letters in place of the Arabic numerals we now employ.â Alexander Graham Bell, 1906
