11 Measuring Effective Techniques and Tools

12 Why do we need to know equivalents?
To use the most effective tools for measuring. For example: Use ¼ c rather than 4 T Use measuring spoons for ingredients less than ¼ c

13 Doubling and Halving Stays the same Changes Cooking temperature
Ingredients used Directions Changes Length of cooking time Amount of ingredients Size of pan Why would you double or halve a recipe?

14 Oatmeal Chocolate Chip Cookies
