I’ve been enjoying your flour converters heaps making all sorts of calculations but mainly from grams to cups and oz for recipes I create … today I needed to convert a few value amounts the other way around from oz to grams for all purpose flour for a friend of mine who is baking my apple cake. Cheers

Is the volume of normal cup different to dry cup ? What is a dry cup size compared to the ordinary cup ?
Can any one explain to me what is the difference in size between dry cup and liquid cup in the measures? How different is liquid cup to the dry cup in measuring flour amount or any other ingredient? Or to put it this way, what is the volume of dry cups compared to volume of liquid cups. They should be the same in the amount sense shouldn’t they? Thank you.

Dry cup versus liquid cup
Both cup and dry cup have the same volume.
The difference is applied only in what either of these measuring cups is being used for. What the cup measuring tool is designed to be used for, technically. For example the dry-cup lets you to fill it right to the rim so you can scrape off the excess e.g. a flour type. While the liquid-cup ( cup ) allows you to basically fill it to the cup mark without the risk of spilling a liquid out, the mark is well below the uppermost edge of the container. Anything else than that, there isn’t any difference between dry cup and normal cup and, the volume of these two cup types is or should be the same.

Hi Convert, ta for the dry cup versus liquid cup explanation. It is exactly what i searched Google for! Your answer is the best from what I found.
Comment from/about : John | Permalink
I was also looking for the same answer about the ordinary cup vs dry cup differences, so thanks for the explaining. I’ve always thought both cups are having the same size and that neither dry cup or liquid cup of the same system could be larger nor smaller in their actual volume measure. Now I know I am always spot on right

Super that you are adding carbs to kcal conversions options in your converters. I think many people will find this very useful as I do. Same for the total carbohydrates - sugars, protein, fat, cholesterol levels and dietary fiber ( or is it fibre ? ) that the page is capable to show for each food product. All of us, we need to watch this information in our diet to stay healthy an fit!

Keep up the good work. Can’t wait till you add in a yeast calculator for making the dough to make it complete for baking! This is one of the best sets for baking measures conversions us cups to grams and dekagrams or kilograms to use for practical purposes in this fast life we live in. If you need any help please email me. Your explaning is right there for the dry cup vs liquid cup, either, commonly called just cup or as the wet cup and the dry cup, both have exactly the same volume.

The details above and the explanation about measuring differences between the 2 types of cups the cup and the dry cup are correct, I second all of that. If I may add: level measures, or dry cups in question, are generally used for dry measures for instance flours. In cooking and recipe ingredients measuring or conversion of the amounts, dry and wet or liquid measures are always the same in the volume amount. This goes for the cups and the same applies also for dry or liquid teaspoons or for dry or wet tablespoons. But everyone knows that the measuring results obtained by the dry versus the liquid or wet methods, but THIS IS PRIMARILY applied out in a shop or at the fresh food markets NOT in the kitchen, for the same fruit will very likely be much different. The dry cup method measure produces values that are 16% lower. And liquid-wet measures are 16% higher when compared with dry. It has also one advantage for using a fresh produce for cooking at home or for business; dry cup of ei. apples after they are cleaned becomes the cooking dry or liquid cup … hence minus the 16%

Thanks guys for the how to convert dry cup to cup used in a recipe. Spending lots for what’s cooking this weekend so I just wanted to double check. Now I know I was always using either wet or dry looking only at what volume I get, which is right … basics; in us system liquid cup converts into dry cup @ 100% both have the same volume which translates to - 8 fluid ounce us fl oz - 0.50 pint liquid us pt - 0.25 quart liquid qt - 236.59 milliliters ml per us cup or equals to 250 ml if metric cup.

Dry measuring cups verses wet measuring cups and which is bigger or which one of these two is smaller. It was always a common question people may ask. I use any in either way, wet for flour or dry for liquids. My dry cup measure takes 5 cups volume but the wet cup measure I have takes only 1 cup. That’s completely enough for me kitchen and cooking. I always knew since childhood that the drycup equals wetcup exactly equally.

Is dry cup same as standard cup?
Yes definitely dry cups vs liquid cups amount both share exactly the same line mark. Anybody can test it simply by pouring for example water from one cup to another cup. There are no differences in their volume. The difference how each cup looks comes into the account when dry ingredients like flour for instance and liquid ingredients like milk for example are being measured although again this too may not need to be requirement. The actual flour ingredient amount does not have to be converted between the 2 cups or in other words conversions from dry to liquid cup are not necessity as their volume is the same. I am surprised that people have an issue with this, it must be an Europian thing
I know I was born in there…

What brought me in here was the same dilemma regarding the conversion between a wet cup and a dry cup units often mentioned in cooking recipes. So no any call for adjusting just that it should be taken easy then , I am glad and it helps!

I used your all purpose flour and selfraising flour calculators for converting 6 2/3 and 6 1/3 cup and then 8 3/4 and 4 3/4 cups of flour into dkg deka grams and/or g gram ( si ) amount measures that I much more often work with for baking recipes and on my kitchen table.

Thanks for the answer on how to differentiate the cup to dry cup and how can these 2 types of cups be actually used for measuring ingredients for cooking without conversion necessary. I did think that the wet/liquid cup is the same as dry cup in the actual volume and that there’s no wet vs. dry measuring cup difference for adding flour for instance.

1 cup wet equals cup dry in their volume easy as that and exactly! Either for flours or other ingredients from a baking recipe.

I’ve had a good read on your calculations and it’s all very interesting and thank you so much for the information. Especially about the difference in the cup measurements.
Now, I’m wondering if anyone can clarify if the liquid amounts are measured from the top or the bottom of the miniscus when looking through the side of a glass measuring cup? Thank you!

Valuable calculators for flour weight volume equivalent measures for baking but also any other powder or fluid style based recipes. Most often when I bake I must do flour conversion weight cups mainly to scale from grammes ( g ) into ounces ( oz ) but normally it always comes to all common varieties including in pounds ( lbs ), kilograms ( kgs), dekagrams ( dkgs ) of flour, you name it. So basically all this is a part of good/proper equipment and always very helpful.

Is the conversion (from lbs. to cups) for all-purpose and self-rising flour — the same for “cake flour”? Thank you!! 8/24/09 10:40 P.M. EST
Comment from/about : Alli the cake baker: question about cake flour? | Permalink
Before I make the cake flour weight/volume converter (thank you for the suggestion) please use the rye flour calculator instead, link is above. Cake and rye flours are very similar in their weight measure. 1 cup (US) of cake flour is 100g and rye flour is 102 grams per US cup. Very similar, almost the same. Just convert into your units that you are most comfortable with.
Cake flour: 100 grams ( g ) per cup Equals: 3.53 ounces ( oz ). Fraction : 3 53/100 ounce (oz)
Rye flour: 102 grams ( g ) per cup Equals: 3.60 ounces ( oz ). Fraction : 3 3/5 ounce (oz)
So cake flour is lighter in the weight but also in its color, than for instance the all purpose AP or plain flour, because it contains less gluten. Therefore cake flour will be thinner if a same water is added into it as into other flour types. this is due to a higher content of protein they have, which cakeflour lucks.

Hi Leatha, thank you for your note. You can use the common, plain, all purpose flour. Add 1 1/2 teaspoon of baking powder as the raising agent and plus 1/2 teaspoon of table salt to make the self raising flour type. I added this recipe for how to make self riasing flour in the SR flour conversion page with a bit of more explanation I got from my SR pack I purchased recently.
