peer agreement (net): +1Placing meat into a measuring cup?.... see below Explanation: I still believe this is a typo (Peter is correct). What KathyO pointed out is somewhat intriguging however, so I just looked up a dictionary or so, then came across things like this .... http://www.healthline.com/galecontent/cupping?utm_term=cup&u... Still makes no sense in this context, so it well could be a typo. If not, it means placing diced or grounded or chopped up meat into a cup for measuring purpose. In food preparation context we frequently see instruction to "2 cups of chopped up onions ....." etc. Again, meat goes by weight, not by a measuring cup in most of cooking context. Just an idea ....... |
