I know what you’re thinking: “It’s two-thirds of a cup. Duh.” But here’s the kicker. 2/3 cup is not a thing you can eyeball. It’s a shape-shifter. It’s a fraction that hates being neat.
Pour 2/3 cup of water. Now pour 1/3 cup. See the difference? One is double the other. But if you try to guess with your eyes? You’ll be off by at least a splash.
