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 Pint?

US and UK pints are very different sizes. A US pint is 473 ml while a UK (imperial) pint is 568 ml, making the UK pint about 20% larger. A "pint of milk" in a British recipe is significantly more than in an American recipe.

What is a Gram?

A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
