Measuring sour cream
It's a semi-solid.
Do I use the liquid measuring cup like for milk or water or do I use the "solids" measuring cups like for flour and sugar?

1. Either. The solids measuring cup is fine since the cream won't really spill out...
The only real reason to not use the solid cup for liquids it to prevent the liquid from spilling when you fill the solid cup to the top.

2. The container lists the content amount usually in oz.s. Measuring cups read in cups and oz.s. Just approximate the proportion out of the container.

3. you need a solid to get a really level cup.
and to knock out all the air spaces. then it is easier to empty completely with a spatula.

4. The solids cup is easier to get the stuff out of
I usually just eyeball it.

Another example of how there are no stupid questions, just stupid people asking them.
She apparently doesn't have a semi-solid measuring cup.
What kind of cook doesn't have a set of semi-solid measuring cups?
It would be dangerous to allow this nitwit to control an explosive natural gas stove.

How about you RTFM dummie !
If the recipe calls for a mass based measure - use scales and any form of container. If the recipe calls for a volume based measure use an appropriately marked container.
-
The damn container is marked by volume,can these simpletons not do basic math in their heads to figure out how much a tablespoon removes from the visual volume?
They honestly have to be lead around by the nose for everything.

Might be a gNads measuring cup.
60cc=1 cup :whistling:

I have what might seem an incredibly stupid thing to say, but what the Hell does one measure sour cream for?
I buy sour cream by the pint and the quart, usually the latter unless two pints are cheaper than one quart, which sometimes happens.
I either sup on it as if ice cream, or just grab a spoon and heap it onto things I'm eating, without any concern or care about its measurement.
I suppose there's things into which one can cook sour cream, but I'm a purist here; never tried them.

I simply use nanites for all my cooking now.

All the expert cooks are using nadites instead of nanites. Nanites just know what you program into them. Nadites already know everything.

Nanites, nadites, whatever.
I think nanites hang down from the ceiling, and nadites are the ones that come up from the floor.
I just hire a Ladino and forget about it.
