MEASURING & WEIGHING
The accuracy of measurements can
affect the critical balance of the recipe.
Use accurate and appropriate measuring
equipment to ensure the best results.
Do not use tableware, or common cups or
spoons when measuring ingredients.
Dry measuring cups & spoons
For dry ingredients, use nested plastic or
metal dry measuring cups and spoons.
Do not use tableware cups or spoons.
It is important to spoon or scoop the dry
ingredients loosely into the cup. Do not tap
the cup or pack the ingredients into the cup
unless otherwise directed (eg. packed brown
sugar). The extra amount gained from
packing or tapping down ingredients can
affect the critical balance of the recipe.
Level the top of the cup by sweeping the
excess with the back of a knife.
When using measuring spoons for either
liquid or dry ingredients such as yeast,
sugar, salt, dry milk or honey, measurements
should be level, not heaped.

Liquid measuring cups
For liquid ingredients, use transparent
plastic or glass liquid measuring cups with
the measurements marked clearly on the
side. Do not use non-transparent plastic
or metal measuring cups unless they have
measurement markings on the side.
Measuring cup must be on a flat and
horizontal surface. For accuracy, bend
to view the liquid level at eye level.
An inaccurate measurement can affect
the critical balance of the recipe.
