Abbreviations for Metric Volume Measurements mL L

By what customary units are both volume and weight measured? oz. = ounces

Clear Glass/Plastic Measuring Cup vs. Dry Measuring Cup for Liquids You can see the line of measurement for accuracy Get at eye level of the liquid

Coffee Cups should Not be used to Measure Liquids A coffee cup is not a standard 8 oz. measure

Do Not Pour an Ingredient into a Measuring Utensil over the Ingredient Bowl The measuring spoon or cup may be overfilled and too much of the ingredient would be in the recipe

Measuring Thick Liquids - Honey Coat the measuring cup or spoon with cooking spray or with a bit of cooking oil so that the honey all comes out

How do you Measure Amounts Smaller than your Measuring Utensil? Fill and level the smallest spoon Divide in the spoon to mark off the amount needed Remove the extra

Ensure Accurate Measurement of Dry Ingredients Use the correct measuring cup size Fill the cup above the brim Level off the ingredient with the straight edge of a knife or spatula

Do Not Shake Flour Measuring Cup Shaking the cup may pack down the flour, providing more than is called for in the recipe

Method to Measure Brown Sugar Press the brown sugar down firmly in the measuring cup, then level off the top

Types of Recipes Easily Adjusted Certain recipes can easily be changed for different quantities of people without changing the outcome of the recipe: Mixtures of food – such as stews, salads, casseroles, and stir-fry

Why is it difficult to adjust the recipes for certain baked products? The cooking time is often dependent on the size of the pan, adjusting the total recipe to make a larger or smaller amount can be complicated

What does a Meat Thermometer do? It measures the internal temperature of meat and poultry. It also indicates the recommended final temperature for a variety of meats/poultry
