I just realized while cooking that a measuring-cup cup (as measured out as 250mL in a glass measuring cup) is the same amount(s) as one of the actual plastic baking measuring cups that go inside each other like Russian dolls lol

I thought they were different somehow (something something imperial metric yadda yadda yaddda)

Your turn to come clean Lemmings!

**EDIT: to clarify, I mean volumetrically for measuring liquids

    Solids weigh different amounts. You are talking about ml here. This is a good example of why it isn’t ideal.

      ML is also a measure of volume, which is what the measuring cups can measure. It’s not the 100% best method, but you will get comparable results. Again, I highly doubt anyone here could taste two recipes where the only difference is the use of a scale.
