Metric weighing scales

For consistent results it is recommended that a metric kitchen scale be used to weigh as they provide greater accuracy than measuring cups.

Tare (zero) the scales with the container in the position then spoon or pour the ingredients in until the desired weight is achieved.

measuring cups and spoons

If using graduated measuring cups, it is important to spoon the dry ingredients loosely into the required cup. Do not tap the cup on the counter-top or pack the ingredients into the cup unless otherwise directed. Level the top of the cup with a knife. When using graduated measuring spoons, level the top of the spoon with a straight edged knife or spatula.

Metric liquid measuring CUPS

If using a graduated, measuring cup, place cup on a flat surface and check for accuracy at eye level.

NOTE

In general, water weighs the same in grams as it measures in milliliters.
