So you’ve lost your 2/3 measuring cup to the abyss of the drawer—welcome to the club. Grab a 1/3 cup and fill it twice. Boom, you’re a wizard.
No 1/3 cup either? Use a 1/4 cup plus a 1/4 cup, then add 2 tablespoons plus 2 teaspoons. Yes, it’s a small arithmetic quiz, but you passed. Or just use a standard mug and hope for the best. (We’ve all been there.)
The “Trust Your Gut” Ratio
If you’re making a savory dish, precision is less critical. A stir-fry doesn’t care if you’re off by a teaspoon. Baking is the diva. For cookies, cakes, and pastries, measure like a chemist. For soup, measure like a poet.
Fun fact: In Japan, many home cooks use rice cooker cups, which are about 3/4 of a standard US cup. So 2/3 of a cup is roughly one Japanese rice cooker cup plus a splash. Travel that with you.
