MEASURING LIQUID

So you are ready to prepare your first recipe and it tells you that you need one cup of milk.

Ok, how do you measure it?

Liquids should always be measured in a liquid measuring cup. They usually resemble a little pitcher and come in plastic or glass models.

Place the measuring cup on a level surface. Bending down to look at the side of the cup, the measurement lines should be at eye level.

Start pouring in your liquid ingredient slowly.

Stop filling the cup once you have reached the amount that you desire for your recipe. Never hold the cup while you are filling the cup for measurement. You will not get an accurate measurement, as you will not be able to hold the cup level or steady.

IF you are just needing a small amount of liquid, you can use the same measuring spoons that you use for dry items.

Do not measure liquids directly over the bowl that you are adding to. Hold the measuring spoon over a small clean cup or bowl, while you slowly pour in the ingredient that you are measuring.

Fill the spoon just to the top with out letting it spill over if possible.
