Essential Question
Why 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?

What are the different measurement tools?
Measure by various units:Volume (how much space something takes
up)Weight (how heavy something is). Temperature Length

Heaping vs. LevelUnless asked for heaping, assume all
recipes call for LEVEL measurements.

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