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.
