I’m lucky enough to own both a good set of two-way weighing scales and a
set of US cup measures. I'm trying to get into the habit of always noting quantities in all three systems.
In the UK you’ll
need to go to a specialist cookery shop to get cup measures. My set has four, in quarter cup, one-third cup, half cup and one cup sizes, and you
can get swankier sets with more sizes.
But since when you’re using cups you’re measuring by proportion rather
than weight, you don’t have to have formal cup measures. You can use any size cup, so long as it’s roughly the right size and you
always use the same one. One of those enamelled tin cups is about
right, or a large-ish teacup. It does
help if you’re good at guessing halves and two-thirds and so forth, though!
