Ah, yes. The elusive 5/16 cup. Exactly what i need.

[–] Airowird@lemm.ee 11 points 2 months ago (2 children)

Anything but the metric system, huh?

That's clearly 1/3rd cup, btw, as it's in between the 1/2 & 1/4 cup ones.

The cups ar also labelled on the handle.

This is the internet, you can't expect people to read! ~/s~

If I had read your reply I might have had an opinion on it, but I didn't, so I don't.

You'll excuse me for attempting humour.

I also didn't see the designation on the handle.

Also also, the difference between 5/16 and 1/3 is within the margin of error for this measuring method.

You're excused 😉

7% is a large margin of error though, for something you wanted 'exactly'

Guess we both failed at making a good joke about it.

Tbh I hate it but I love it. If it wasn't plastic I'd probably get some

On the full cup, the circle is aligned with the center of the handle, but on the partial cups it’s aligned to the right edge of the handle. Can’t unsee

Well yes it has to be like that, so they can stack. Stupid measuring cups though, I hate useless cooking gimmicks like this

[–] Arrkk@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

Why not rotate the 1/2, 1/3, and 1/4 measures by 90°, 60°, and 45° respectively? Now they are symmetric and still stack nicely.
