I’m so glad to read this because for a long while now I’ve been making Meera Sodha’s recipe for “Perfect Basmati Rice,” and I’ve been using the same Pyrex two-cup (liquid) measuring cup to get the ratio correct instead of switching measuring cups from weight to volume.
I have recently noticed that I never measure in milliliters, which is odd because I’m happy using my scale to get weight in grams. I don’t have any measuring cups that measure milliliters in small to large increments, not even my British liquid measuring cup. But they’re a little messed up with the “pints as well as liters” measuring system as anyone who’s ever used traditional British baking books has found out. You know “a pint’s a pound the world around…” But you have given me pause, and I’m going to get one.
