Measuring spoon sets, used for liquid and dry ingredients, usually include 1 tablespoon, 1 teaspoon, ½ teaspoon, and ¼ teaspoon. Measuring cup sets, used for dry ingredients and solid fats, usually include 1 cup, ½ cup, 1/3 cup, and ¼ cup. Some sets may include a 2/3 and a ¾ cup measure. 1 cup, 2 cup, and 1 quart liquid cup measures are transparent and have space above the top measurement line. You can carry a full cup without spilling.
1 cup All Purpose Flour: 4 3/8 oz or 125 g Any measurement by weight, whether using customary or metric units, is more accurate than using measuring cups or spoons.
Pack fats into a dry measuring cup, level the top, and remove with a rubber spatula, OR use a water-displacement method to measure. Example: measure ½ cup of water into a liquid measuring cup; add fat until the water level reaches the 1 cup mark; you have just measured ½ cup of fat. When using a scale to measure, place the bowl on the scale first, reset the scale to zero, and then measure in the ingredients. To measure liquids, set the cup measure in a level surface. Pour in the liquid to the right line and read it at eye-level. Food ingredients do not cause eye damage if splashed into the eyes.
