Find the vessels at home that are exactly 1 litre. Use your 1 litre bottle to check.
Vessels that are exactly 1 litre:
- A standard milk packet
- A large water bottle
- Some measuring cups
- Certain jars
Verification: When water from a 1-litre bottle is poured into these vessels, they should be filled exactly to the brim without overflow or remaining water.
