- 1). Fill the tablespoon measuring spoon to the top with water and pour it into a liquid measuring cup with worn numbers to determine its volume. Repeat until the water reaches the measuring cup's top fill line, keeping track of how many times you added water. Each 2 tbsp. of water equals 1 fluid oz. of liquid. This means if you pour 16 tbsp. of water into the measuring cup, it holds 8 oz. of liquid. Every quarter cup holds 2 fluid oz.
- 2). Fill the 1/4-cup measuring cup with table salt and pour the salt into the dry measuring cup with worn numbers to determine its volume. Fill the 1/4-cup measuring cup as many times as necessary to fill the worn measuring cup to the top. For example, if you fill the measuring cup three times with the 1/4-cup measuring cup, the worn measuring cup has a capacity of 3/4 cup dry volume.
- 3). Use the permanent marker to mark the top fill line on a liquid measuring cup with the numbers worn off. Draw lines at each one-quarter-cup increment and label each line. Label a dry measuring cup with the capacity on the bottom or on the handle.
