Miscellaneous Measurement Definitions
Measurement
|
Procedure
|
|
|
Even or Level Measuring Cup or
Spoon
|
Measure
the amount precisely. Discard the entire ingredient that rises above the rim
of the measuring cup or spoon. The back of a straight knife works well for
this.
|
Rounded Measuring Cup or Spoon
|
Do not flatten out the ingredient to the top of the measuring cup or spoon. Allow it
to pile up above the rim into a soft, rounded shape.
|
Heaping, Heaped Measuring Cup or Spoon
|
Pile as
much of the ingredient on top of the measuring cup or spoon as it can hold.
|
Firmly Packed Measuring Cup or Spoon
|
With a
spoon, spatula, or your hand, tightly press the ingredient into the measuring
cup or spoon. Measure as much of the ingredient as you can fit into the
measuring cup or spoon.
|
Lightly Packed Measuring Cup or Spoon
|
Press
the ingredient into the measuring cup or spoon lightly. Do not compress it
too much or leave any air pockets.
|
Sifted
|
Sift
with a sifter before measuring to ensure that the ingredient is not compacted
and that there is no other foreign substance in it.
