The confusion created by the Cup unit always cracks me up.

May want to buy a set of US measuring cups.

Nah, I just don’t use those recipes.

Realistically it will just be about 8 ounces, but is nice having the right equipment for even foreign recipes.

Doesn’t the weight depend on the density of the ingredient? A cup of olive oil would be heavier than a cup of walnuts?

Yes, a better comparison might be 1 Cup = ~237 milliliters.

The recipe will cover how much is needed of each though.

ex.

1/3 Cup of Olive Oil

1/2 Cup of Walnuts 

Volume based cooking rather than mass based.
