Measurement Units and How to Use Them
Learn how to measure ingredients accurately, from the su bardağı to the kitchen scale, and avoid the most common measuring mistakes.
What Will You Learn in This Lesson?
- Tell the difference between a volume measure and a weight measure
- Use the su bardağı, tablespoon, dessert spoon and teaspoon correctly
- Measure dry and liquid ingredients with the right technique
- Use a kitchen scale's tare function for precise measuring
- Know which ingredients don't scale proportionally when resizing a recipe
Required Equipment
Required
- Digital kitchen scale
- Measuring spoon set (teaspoon, dessert spoon, tablespoon)
- Liquid measuring cup with millilitre markings
- A straight-edged knife back or spatula for levelling off measurements
Optional
- A separate measuring cup set for dry ingredients
- A kitchen scale with a tare (zeroing) function
Alternative
- No scale: measure level spoons and cups instead
- No marked measuring cup: use a cup or bottle of known volume as a reference
Safety
- Don't set a glass measuring cup filled with hot liquid straight onto a cold surface or into cold water; the sudden temperature change can crack the glass.
- Don't use a digital scale with wet hands or on a damp counter; the electronics can be damaged by moisture.
- Don't hold the cup close to your face when levelling off flour or ground spices; airborne dust can get into your eyes and airway.
