of metric weighing scales should be used. Tare

is achieved. In general, water weighs the same

greater accuracy is obtained by specified in the
recipe.
Metric Measuring Cups and Spoons

cups, it is important to spoon or scoop the
dry ingredients loosely into the required cup.

ingredients into the cup UNLESS otherwise

When using graduated metric measuring
spoons, level top of cup or spoon with a
straight edged knife or spatula.

metric measuring jug. Place jug on a flat
