About these units

Cup (US customary)

The US customary cup is a unit of measurement used to quantify liquid volumes in cooking and baking, particularly in the United States. It is defined as 236.588 milliliters, which is slightly less than the metric cup. The US customary cup is part of the Imperial system and has been used historically in American recipes to standardize ingredient measurements. Today, it remains a fundamental measurement in US kitchens, featured in numerous recipes, cookbooks, and kitchen tools designed to provide accurate and consistent results in cooking and baking.

Dash (Imperial)

The Imperial dash is a unit of measurement used to quantify very small volumes, typically in cooking and medicine. It is a traditional unit from the British Imperial system, representing a small, precise amount often used in recipes or for dosing. Historically, the dash was used to measure tiny quantities of liquid for adding to recipes or medical preparations. Today, it remains relevant in specific contexts where precise small-volume measurements are necessary, such as in culinary arts for seasoning or in medicine for administering minute doses.
