The New Zealand tablespoon is 5ml less than the Australian tablespoon, so care should be taken when measuring ingredients to compensate for the variance. For example: 1 Australian tablespoon

=1 New Zealand tablespoon + 1 New Zealand teaspoon. It is also important to note that some New Zealand ingredients, especially flour and yeast, can differ from Australian equivalents.

Metric weighing scales

For consistent results it is recommended that a set of metric weighing scales be used to weigh larger quantities as they provide greater accuracy than measuring cups. Tare (zero) the scales with the container in position then spoon or pour ingredients in until the desired weight is achieved.

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

Metric measuring cups and spoons

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

CUPS OR SPOONS.

Metric liquid measuring jugs

If using a graduated, metric measuring jug, place jug on a flat surface and check for accuracy at eye level. DO NOT USE TABLEWARE JUGS OR

MEASURING CUPS.
