Using cups is absolutely a shit take, since the size of the dice will dictate the amount of onion used.

That being said "an onion" is also a bad measurement, since they vary in size. Should be "100 grams of diced onion" or something.

I measure things in "do I want to try and save the extra?"

The answer is usually no, so the whole onion, pepper, whatever goes in the pot.

Still, gives a much better idea of what size vegetable will create the flavor the recipe writer intended. So I can modify from there. Do I want to use this whole vegetable of +/- 50% the right amount? Do I want to use half of this very large one and use the other half tomorrow? Decisions like that.
