Cups

Definition

A US cup is a unit of volume equal to 8 US fluid ounces, approximately 236.588 milliliters, or 1/16 of a US gallon.

History

The cup as a cooking measurement evolved from traditional household measures. The US standard cup (236.588 mL) was formalized in the 20th century to standardize recipe measurements across the country.

Current use

Cups are the primary volume unit in American and Canadian cooking and baking recipes. Measuring cups are standard kitchen tools, and nutritional labels in the US frequently reference cup-based serving sizes.

UK Gallons

Definition

A UK gallon (imperial gallon) is a unit of volume equal to 4 imperial quarts, 8 imperial pints, or approximately 4.54609 liters. It is about 20% larger than a US gallon.

History

The imperial gallon was defined in the 1824 British Weights and Measures Act as the volume of 10 pounds of water at 62°F. It replaced the earlier English wine gallon (which became the US gallon) and the English beer gallon.

Current use

Imperial gallons are still used for fuel economy ratings in the United Kingdom and Canada (miles per imperial gallon). They occasionally appear in older British recipes and some Commonwealth country measurements.
