What happens if you don't weigh ingredients accurately?

Weighing ingredients is crucial when baking, less so when cooking. The tools and utensils and method of measuring is also important. Liquid measures (a clear measuring cup) should be used for liquids, and the liquid must be determined by viewing it at eye level. Solids like shortening, require a solid metal or plastic scoop or baker's scale to ensure accuracy. The water replacement measuring method can also be a used for fats.Measures for salt, baking powder or soda must be leveled on the spoon for accuracy. If flour is scooped with the measuring tool rather than poured into the measuring vessel and leveled, an inaccurate measure will result, creating cookies that spread or ball, formulas that result in off flavors. Measuring while cooking is less crucial because the product can be tasted during preparation to correct taste.
