Did measuring cups exist in the medieval ages?

No, measuring cups did not exist in the medieval ages. In medieval Europe, ingredients were often measured by volume using containers such as spoons, wooden bowls, jugs, and barrels. For dry ingredients, it was common to use a standard unit of measurement called a 'bushel'. Liquid ingredients were often measured using a jug or cup of a consistent size, but there was no standardized system for measuring them. Cooking relied more on experience and judgement rather than precise measurements.
