Thank you Vinny, now it's my turn ;-)


I use quite a few American recipes so bought a set of cup measures years ago to make life a little easier. This is written on them.



  1. 1 cup = 8 oz or 240ml.

  2. 1/2 cup = 4 oz or 120ml.

  3. 1/3 cup = 2.7oz or 80ml.

  4. 1/4 cup = 2 oz or 60ml.

I've only ever needed to use the first two, but these measures are quite handy to have in the kitchen drawer and can be bought in most cookshops very cheaply.
