What is lb in measuring cups?
Pounds are weight and cups are volume (size). They are not convertible to each other. Yes, they both use ounces but it is a common mistake to assume that fluid ounces (8 per cup) and regular ounces (16 per pound) are the same thing. A cup of water weighs aprox 1/2 pound and is a full 8 fluid ounces. A pound of water is about a pint (2 cups). A pound of breadcrumbs will be much bigger than a pound of water and a cup of breadcrumbs will weigh less than a cup of water. The answer to your question will be different for each food. If you are measuring liquids there are 8 oz to a cup so 16 oz would be two cups. . If you are measuring dry ingredients (for instance bread crumbs) 16 oz would be about 4 cups. 1 oz of bread crumbs is 1/4 cup so it only takes 4 oz to make a cup. .
