Measuring Foods

Liquid Ingredients Place a liquid measuring cup on a level surface. Pour the liquid in to the cup to the correct line. Check the measurement at eye level to be sure you measured the correct amount

Dry Ingredients Use a dry measuring cup or spoon Use a spoon to fill the measuring cup or spoon to overflowing. Do not pack or shake ingredients into the cup or spoon unless the recipe tells you to. Level the measuring cup or spoon with a straight-edged spatula. If needed, sift the ingredients before measuring. If the recipe calls for 2 cups of sifted flour, sift flour before measuring. If the recipe calls for 2 cups of flour and then tells you to sift it, do so after measuring. Confectioners’ sugar should be sifted before measuring. Granulated sugar should be sifted if it has lumps in it.

Brown Sugar Use a dry measuring cup or spoon Lightly pack the brown sugar into the cup or spoon. Level the cup or spoon by packing the brown sugar, so that it is even with the top of the cup or spoon. You can also level the cup or spoon with a straight edged spatula. If it is measured correctly the brown sugar will stay in the shape of the cup or spoon when it is emptied.

Equivalents Dry and liquid 3 teaspoons = 1 tablespoon 4 tablespoons = ¼ cup 8 tablespoons = ½ cup 12 tablespoons = ¾ cups 16 tablespoons = 1 cup few grains, dash, or pinch = less than 1/8 teaspoon

Liquid Measures 2 tablespoons = 1 fluid ounce 1 cup = 8 fluid ounces 2 cups = 16 fluid ounces = 1 pint 4 cups = 32 fluid ounces = 1 quart 2 pints = 1 quart 4 quarts = 1 gallon

Dry Measures 16 ounces = 1 pound 8 quarts = 1 peck 4 pecks = 1 bushel
