721 - How do we measure ingredients accurately in cooking?

In cooking, measuring ingredients accurately is important. Here's how to do it:

  1. Use measuring cups and spoons: These help you measure dry and liquid ingredients correctly. For dry ingredients like flour and sugar, use a measuring cup. For liquid ingredients like water and milk, use a measuring jug.

  2. Spoon ingredients loosely: When measuring dry ingredients, don't press them down or pack them tightly in the measuring cup. Spoon them in gently.

  3. Use a digital scale (optional): If you have a digital scale, you can measure ingredients by weight. This is super accurate and can help when following recipes.

  4. Read the recipe carefully: Pay attention to the recipe's instructions. Some ingredients might need to be measured in a specific way (e.g., "packed brown sugar" means you need to press the sugar down in the measuring cup).

By following these steps, you'll be able to measure ingredients accurately and create delicious dishes.
