Every time I want a clean measuring cup it's been recently used, so why not etch EVERY mug or glass with measuring marks, and then you never run out!

We have a pyrex shot glass with graduated measurements;
very handy. |
|
| |
I'm always thinking "that looks like about a cup" about three
minutes before I slop a little more of something else in to
make up the balance. [+] |

// A standard cup used in cooking measurements is
typically 8 ounces. // |
|
| |
That's probably because 8 ounces constitute a standard
cup, [21]. I think the point of this idea may have eluded
you. |
|
| |
No, because a 5 ounce 'cup' won't be marked '1 cup', it will
be marked '5 ounces'. The proposal isn't that every vessel
conform to a standard unit, it's simply a line of glasses,
cups,
and mugs marked with standard units graduated to
whatever their maximum capacity happens to be, so that
every vessel in the cupboard doubles as a handy
measurement tool. |
|
| |
Well, there's always the issue that the only countries
that still use fluid ounces are the US, Burma and
Liberia. (August company indeed) |
|
| |
The other 197-odd countries seem to do OK with
metric. |
|
| |
//the UK (metric) cup is still the largest as it is in cricket// Probably best not to use it to measure chili. |
