Ingredient Measurements
Getting quantities right is one of the easiest ways to improve consistent results.
Things to remember
- Use a kitchen scale for flour and sugar when possible.
- Check whether measurements are by weight or volume.
- Keep teaspoons, tablespoons and oven temperatures consistent.
Put this into practice
Try these habits when following a home recipe. Pay close attention to what your ingredients look and feel like, and use the recipe’s timing as a guide rather than the only measure of success.
