Maybe you’re not using standard US cups. Maybe you’re a scientist. Or a European who refuses to own a measuring cup. (I see you.) Here’s the breakdown in metric: ⅔ cup is about 158 milliliters. That’s a smidge over 5 fluid ounces. So, if you have a shot glass that holds 2 ounces, you’d need three of those. Plus a little splash. Or, just buy a scale. Scales are friends.

What about in spoons? A tablespoon is 15 mL. So 158 mL divided by 15 is… calculator noises… about 10.5 tablespoons. But who counts half a tablespoon? Use the 10-tablespoon-plus-2-teaspoons trick. A teaspoon is 5 mL. Two of those are 10 mL. See? You’re a kitchen wizard now.
Why Does This Always Happen at 11 PM?
You’re baking cookies at midnight. You’re tired. You grab a ½ cup and think, “That’s close enough.” No. It’s not. ½ cup is ⅔ of ¾ cup? No. ½ cup is 75% of ⅔ cup. That means you’re shorting your recipe by about 2 tablespoons. That’s enough to turn your fluffy muffins into hockey pucks. Don’t be a puck person.
So, here’s a cheat sheet for you: ⅔ cup = 10 tbsp + 2 tsp. Write it on your fridge. Tattoo it on your arm. Whatever works.
