    In terms of volume, you can absolutely measure solid and liquid the same way. It's just if you're doing weight... as in you can't jam chocolate into a "1-oz" size container and say that it is 1 oz of weight. Serving sizes are always listed by volume. :smile:

    But if you WEIGHED out 4 ounces of mac and cheese... well then I can't help you on how many cups that is!

    Imperial measurement system = confusion!

    The ounce (oz) is both a mass measurement (weight) and a volume measurement (space)... e.g. an 8 oz steak (mass) is quite different from an 8oz glass of water (volume)!
