While a 2-cup measuring glass is primarily designed for measuring liquids—such as water, milk, or broth—it can also be used for dry ingredients like sugar, flour, and rice. For instance, if you need to measure a cup of flour, you can use the measuring glass to scoop it in and level off the top for an exact measurement. The versatility extends to mixing; you can combine ingredients directly in the measuring glass, saving you from washing additional bowls.
