Dry and liquid measurements hold the same volume then why measure differently? Simple.. Dry measuring cups are meant to be filled to the top so that you can shake off the excess and Liquid measuring cups have a spout which is used for pouring hot and liquid stuff. Measuring 1 cup of flour in a dry measuring spoon will be more convenient, simply fill it to the top and easily level off using a knife. On the other hand using a liquid measuring cup as a replacement would mess up the whole recipe. Firstly, you will waste a lot of time filling and refilling the liquid cup and excess can’t be leveled as their brim line is way below. Secondly, you will end up getting the wrong measurements as shaking the cup will cause the flour to settle down, which will result in adding more flour and this will ruin the whole recipe. Also a measuring cup measures volume of a liquid and grams is used to measure mass and weight of non liquid ingredients. Dash OR Pinch = less than 1/8 Teaspoon 1/2 Teaspoon = 30 Drops 1 Teaspoon = 60 Drops
