Can I use the same measuring cup for dry and liquid ingredients?

The short answer is yes and no. If a recipe calls for a cup of dry ingredients or liquid substances, yes you can use the same measuring cup. However, for accuracy in cooking and baking, it is best practice to weigh ingredients using a kitchen scale whenever ounces are indicated in the ingredient amounts. Furthermore, you can purchase liquid measuring cups specifically for measuring wet ingredients.
