Measuring olive oil by the cup

Use olive oil. Oil is lighter by the cup than water; the weights are not interchangeable.

Level dry ingredients with a flat edge instead of leaving a heap, and read liquids on a flat surface at eye level. When a recipe gives grams, a kitchen scale is the surest way to match it.
