Measuring Tip

For liquids, place your measuring cup on a flat surface and read at eye level. The bottom of the meniscus (the curve at the surface) should align with the measurement line.

Understanding the Units

What is a Cup?

The US cup (236.588 ml) is slightly smaller than the metric cup used in Australia and some other countries (250 ml). When following recipes from different countries, check which cup standard is being used.

What is an Ounce?

Weight ounces and fluid ounces are different measurements. A fluid ounce measures volume (29.574 ml), while an ounce measures weight (28.35g). They only align for water, where 1 fl oz weighs approximately 1 oz.

Weighing honey on a kitchen scale is strongly recommended. Honey is thick and sticky, so it clings to measuring cups and spoons, making volume measurements less reliable than for thinner liquids. If you must measure by volume, lightly oil the cup first so the honey slides out cleanly.

Approximately. Sauces, syrups, and processed liquids can vary somewhat by brand and recipe. The cups to ounces result for honey should be treated as a close estimate rather than an exact value.

Honey is dense and sticky, so it clings to measuring cups and does not pour cleanly. Volume measurements can easily be off by 5-10% depending on how much honey stays stuck to the container. A kitchen scale avoids this entirely and is the recommended way to measure sticky liquids.
