I am missing my 2/3 measuring cup can u help me?

Question

and i need 2/3 of mayo for a recipe. How can I know I am measuring 2/3? Sorry if this seems like a dumb questions but i am horrible at math

Answer 1

use your 1/3 cup two times.

Answer 2

Unless you're baking, don't worry too much about getting it right. If you need to eyeball it, do it. I know mathematically this won't help you, but seriously, it probably isn't vital that you be exact. I work for a catering company and we eyeball things enough that I can look at a glob of mayo and tell you about how much it is, so believe me, not life or death. Relax! Like others are saying, using the 1/3 twice will be the same, or something between 1/2 and 3/4. You can do it!!

edit: Yes, you can bake with mayonnaise. Some cakes call for it. I reread my answer and realized I might have sounded a bit off my rocker when I put that, but I'm not!

Answer 3

Use your 1/3 cup twice.

If thats also missing then 10 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons is also equal to 2/3 cups.

Answer 4

Wow.  I have never had a 2/3 cup measuring cup. Where did you find one?

I use my 1/3 twice.

And 4 heaping tablespoons will not be close to 2/3 cup.  1/2 cup and a heaping tablespoon will be closer.

Answer 5

Use you 1/3 C twice or your 1/2 cup once and add a dollop more.

Depending upon what you are making it probable will not matter if your measurents are inprecise, just go by taste.

Answer 6

Use 1/3 twice or 1 cup minus 1/3.  If that doesn't work for you, 4 hp. tbsp. is pretty close.

Answer 7

you can also use a 1/2 cup measuring cup and add 2 heaping Tbs. (2 Tbs. + 2 tsp.) to get close to 2/3

Answer 8

I just use my 4/6 cup.

Answer 9
