What Makes Wet Ingredient Measuring Cups Different From Dry Ingredient Measuring Cups?
While you could fill a dry measuring container with liquid to the top of the cup and get an accurate measurement, it’s almost guaranteed that you’ll spill some of the liquid before it reaches its final destination. Wet measurement cups have measuring lines well below the rim of the cup, so there’s room for the fluid to move around without spilling any of the material.
Although you might think that you could move the measuring container without spilling any material, using a dry measuring cup to pour liquid material is much more inconvenient. Dry measuring cups typically only run to equal one cup, unlike liquid measuring cups that measure up to eight cups. If a mixture calls for four cups of liquid material and you use a dry measuring cup to measure it out, you waste a lot of valuable time filling, refilling, and potentially spilling material that could have been eliminated if you used a liquid measuring tool.
On the other hand, using liquid measuring cups for dry ingredients could mess up the accuracy of the amount of material you’re putting into the mixture. Dry measuring cups are engineered to be filled to the top of the cup so you can sweep off excess ingredients. However, you can’t do that with liquid measuring tools due to the tallness of the cup for additional splashing room.
In addition, if you use a liquid measuring cup to measure dry ingredients, you’d have to put down the material or shake it to level it out accurately. If it’s not leveled out accurately, you risk messing up the whole mixture.
