📐 Measuring Dry Ingredients
Use dry measuring cups and level off with a knife. Don't pack unless specified (like brown sugar).
🥛 Measuring Liquids
Use a clear liquid measuring cup on a flat surface. Check at eye level for accuracy.
🧈 Measuring Fats
For butter, use the marks on the wrapper. For shortening, pack firmly in dry measuring cups.
🍯 Measuring Sticky Ingredients
Spray measuring cup with oil first, or use the water displacement method for honey/syrup.
📊 Understanding Cooking Measurements
Volume vs Weight: Volume measures space (cups, litres), while weight measures mass (grams, ounces). For baking precision, weight is more accurate.
US vs Metric: US recipes use cups and tablespoons, while metric uses millilitres and grams. This converter handles both systems seamlessly.
Ingredient Density: Different ingredients have different densities - 1 cup of flour weighs much less than 1 cup of honey.
🎯 Pro Tips for Accurate Measuring
- Invest in a kitchen scale: Weight measurements are more accurate than volume
- Use proper measuring tools: Liquid measures for liquids, dry measures for dry ingredients
- Level dry ingredients: Use a knife to level off flour, sugar, etc.
- Room temperature matters: Some ingredients change volume with temperature
- Don't convert everything: Some measurements (like eggs) are best left as pieces
