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 Liter?
One liter is about 5.7% larger than a US quart (1,000 ml vs 946 ml) and about 12% smaller than a UK quart (1,000 ml vs 1,137 ml). Always convert precisely rather than treating them as interchangeable.
What is a Pound?
The abbreviation "lb" comes from the Latin word "libra." One pound equals exactly 453.59237 grams. For rough mental math, 1 pound is slightly less than half a kilogram.
