Description
- Measuring spoons come in sets of 1/8 teaspoon to 1 tablespoon. They can be made of metal or plastic.
Tips
- It is important to measure accurately particularly in baking since the ratio of dry to wet ingredients is very important. However in some recipes you may note some measuring terms handed down through generations. As a guideline these measures should equal:
- 1 heaping teaspoon = 1 ¾ to 2 teaspoons
- 1 heaping tablespoon = 1 ½ to 2 tablespoons
- 1 rounded teaspoon, tablespoon = measure ingredient so it is slightly rounded over rim of measure
- 1 dash = 1/16 teaspoon
- Never measure ingredients over the bowl or pan you are adding to. It is very easy to overflow the measuring spoon as you pour into it.
- Buy several sets of measuring spoons to be sure you always have clean spoons available.
- Tableware spoons should not be used for measuring since they vary in size.
