    I hate fucking fl.oz. I understand cups, teaspoons and tablespoons, but then there’s the odd recipe that uses ‘fl.oz.’ and I always have to go look it up.

      8 fl.oz. to a cup. Also every Pyrex measuring cup I’ve ever seen has fluid ounces alongside cups, and usually a scale on the other side for mL.

        Sure, but if the recipe calls for X fl. oz. of canned tomatoes, and my canned tomatoes doesn’t show fl. oz. I have no idea how many cans to use.
