Answer 1

Video: How do you measure dry ingredients?Measuring Dry IngredientsThe basics of measuring dry ingredients is the same for all, whether it's flour, sugar, salt, or another dry ingredient.

To measure dry ingredients, select the appropriate measuring cup or spoon. Place the dry ingredient in the measuring device so that it fills and overflows the device. Use a utensil with a straight edge (an icing spreader works well) to scrape off the excess.

Special circumstances:

Flour - When measuring flour, spoon it into the measuring device and do not tap it down.

Brown sugar - Pack it firmly into the measuring device.

Answer 2

Liquid is referred to as FLUID by scientists. Fluids are measured by their VOLUME in either Imperial Ounces, pints, gallons OR Metric Litres, millilitres (ml) DRY or SOLID ingredients are measured by their WEIGHT in either Imperial Pounds, or Ounces, OR Metric grams, kilogram, milligram. Avoid using TABLESPOONS AS A UNIT OF MEASURE because it is a crude,inaccurate way to measure anything. Tablespoons hold varying amounts depending upon which manufacturer made the tablespoon . Their error can be as high as 25 percent. Tablespoons are OK for cooking measures , but still not very wise to use them for measuring weights or volumes. Electronic scales are used in the 21st century. They are a wise investment in the home.

Answer 3

Dry ingredients are typically measured using measuring cups or spoons, while liquid ingredients are measured using liquid measuring cups. For accuracy, it is important to level off the top of dry ingredients with a straight edge and to view liquid measurements at eye level on a flat surface.
