A cup is a handled container for liquids. I have a ceramic cup for drinking
and three measuring cups which are marked up to 250, 500, and 1000 ml (though
the small one actually can hold 300 ml). The big one says on the other side
"4 CUPS". If a cup can hold four cups, what's a cup?
I do not measure things in cups in recipes, because cooks in different parts
of the world use different cups. If I write "250 ml water", that means the
same amount to every cook in the world (well, a smidgen less to the Dravidian
than the Inuit because hot water is less dense). If I write "1 cup water",
that could be 236.6 (what units says) to 250 ml.
