METRIC WEIGhING SCALES
For consistent results it is recommended
that a metric kitchen scale be used to weigh
as they provide greater accuracy than
measuring cups.
Tare (zero) the scales with the container
in the position then spoon or pour the
ingredients in until the desired weight
is achieved.
MEASURING CUPS
ANd SPOONS
If using graduated measuring cups, it is
important to spoon the dry ingredients
loosely into the required cup. Do not tap
the cup on the counter-top or pack the
ingredients into the cup unless otherwise
directed. Level the top of the cup with a
knife. When using graduated measuring
spoons, level the top of the spoon with a
straight edged knife or spatula.
METRIC LIqUId MEASURING CUPS
If using a graduated, measuring cup, place
cup on a flat surface and check for accuracy
at eye level.
NOTE
In general, water weighs the same in
grams as it measures in milliliters.
