Liquid Measurement

Measuring

Keep two basic measuring sets for the kitchen—one for liquid and one for dry ingredients.

Liquid Measuring Tips

  • Do not pour liquids into measuring device over mixing bowl.
  • Use a clear measuring device with graduated scale placed on level surface. Bend down to sight along the marking for accuracy. Don’t raise the cup to eye level…It won’t be level.
  • Exact-sized devices, such as teaspoons and 1/2 cups, must be filled to the rim or marking indicated.
  • When measuring sticky liquids, such as honey or syrup, first coat the device with a tiny amount of vegetable oil or spray. The syrup will release more easily from the device.
  • Fats, such as butter, margarine and/or shortening, pack better and measure more accurately at room temperature.
