How to measure?

Spoons: To measure small amounts of ingredients. They come in different sizes, 1/8 tsp, 1/4 tsp, 1/2 tsp, 1 tsp, and one tbsp. They can be used to measure dry and wet ingredients. To measure dry ingredients you dip in the spoon and level it of with the back of a butter knife. To measure wet ingredients hold the spoon above the bowl and pour the liquid in until the spoon is full.

Measuring cup: you use to measure dry ingredients, for example, sugar, flour, and baking powder. Take a scoop out of a bigger container, then use the back of a butter knife and run it across the top to level the surface.

Measuring jug: You use to measure liquids. How you know the measurement is correct is by putting it on a flat stable surface (do not hold in your hands) and bend down so that your eyes are level with the top of the liquid. You will notice that the liquid is not perfectly flat. That is called a meniscus. You need to measure the bottom of the meniscus to get the correct measurement.
