About
A measuring cup is a compact kitchen tool designed to hold precise volumes of wet or dry ingredients.
Measuring cups range from small nested scoops holding a fraction of a cup up to large pitchers that hold several quarts. Dry measuring cups are sized to be leveled flat at the rim, while liquid models include extra headroom and a pour spout. Heavy glass versions can weigh substantially more than plastic or aluminum versions of the exact same capacity.
From Wikipedia
A measuring cup is a kitchen utensil used primarily to measure the volume of liquid or bulk solid cooking ingredients such as flour and sugar, especially for volumes from about 50 mL upwards. Measuring cups are also used to measure washing powder, liquid detergents and bleach for clothes washing.
