Slide1

Measuring Tools and How to MeasureSlide2

LT: Too much or too little of an ingredient = big difference in product outcome

Learn:

Which tool to use

How to use meas. tools CORRECTLYSlide3

Essential QuestionWhy use standardized recipes?

What are the parts of a recipe and what does each part tell us?

Why use standardized weights and measures?

What can happen if we fail to measure correctly and accurately?Slide4

StandardACF Standard 5Slide5

Why use a standard system for measurement?

US standard system (or customary) system for measurements.

Accepted definition for each measurement.

Ex: Tablespoon made by Kitchenaid will measure the same as a Tablespoon made by The Pampered Chef.Slide6

What are the different measurement tools?

Measure by various units:

Volume

(how much space something takes up)

Weight

(how heavy something is).

Temperature

LengthSlide7

Volume: Dry Measuring Cups Dry ingredients such as flour, sugar, brown sugar, nuts or chocolate chips.

Solid ingredients such as mayonnaise, sour cream, or peanut butterSlide8

Dry Measuring Cups Standard set = 4 cups

1 Cup ,1/2 cup, 1/3 cup, 1/4 cup Slide9

Heaping vs. Level

Unless asked for heaping, assume all recipes call for LEVEL measurements.

HEAPING LEVELSlide10

How to Measure Dry Ingredients

Hold the cup over waxed paper or the ingredient’s container.

If any spills over, you can return it to the container.

Fill the cup slightly over the top.

DO NOT shaker or tap cup to make more room. You are putting in MORE than you need.

Use a straight edge to level off the top of the cup.Slide11

SCOOP IN

LEVEL OFFSlide12

How to Measure Brown Sugar

Scoop in brown sugar

Pack sugar firmly into cup. It should overfill the cup.

Level off.

You know you did it correctly because the b. sugar will hold the shape of the measuring tool. (Like a sand castle)Slide13

How to Measure Solid Ingredients

Scoop in

Pack down

Level offSlide14

Volume: Liquid Measuring Cups

Liquid ingredients such as water, oil, milk, shoyu or vanilla extract. Slide15

Liquid Measuring Cup Usually clear

Has a pouring spout

Space at the top of the cup to prevent spills.Slide16

How to Measure Liquid Ingredients

Place cup on a flat, even surface

Slowly pour the liquid into the cup

Stoop down to check the measurement at eye level

DO NOT raise cup to eye level. You will not get an accurate measurement.Slide17

Measuring Liquid IngredientsYES

NO

Volume: Measuring SpoonsCan measure dry, solid or liquid ingredients

SMALL Amounts: Salt, pepper, vanilla extract, baking powderSlide19

Measuring SpoonsStandard set = 4 spoons

1 Tablespoon

1 teaspoon

½ teaspoon¼ teaspoonSlide20

How to measure SMALL Amounts

DO NOT measure over mixing bowl

Measure same as:

Dry – scoop in level off

Solid/B. Sugar – scoop in, pack down, level off

Liquid – up to rim or edgeSlide21

Weight: Portion ScaleUsed for greater accuracy – especially in baking

Can weigh by Ounces or by PoundsSlide22

How to use a portion scalePlace mixing bowl or other container on scale

“Zero out” the scale by moving the knob so the line points to zero

Begin placing ingredient in bowl

Measure to amount neededSlide23

Mesaurements you just need to memorize

3 tsp = Tbsp

16 T = 1 Cup = 8 oz

2 c = 1 pt, 2 pt = 1 qt., 4 qt = 1 gal

1 block butter = 2 cups = 1 lb
