Measuring Cups, Dry
- Typically nesting metal or plastic measuring cups. Common sizes are ¼, ⅓, ½, and 1 cup. Use these for dry goods and solids (flour, sugar, oats, solid fats such as shortening). Can be used for liquids, but liquid measuring cups are the best option.
Be sure to use the scoop-and-sweep method for flours.
Typically fats (shortening, lard), peanut butter, and brown sugar will be packed down to get the appropriate amount (spoon into the cup and then firmly pack down with a spoon or spatula).
