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 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.

What is a Quart?

The quart gets its name from "quarter" (of a gallon). One US quart is about 5.7% smaller than 1 liter (946 ml vs 1,000 ml). Always use the exact unit your recipe specifies.
