Units of Measurement for Cooking in Recipes

• How many times has it happened to you that you take a recipe from your mother or grandmother and get “precise” kitchen measurements: you put roughly, add enough or is that my cup of coffee oil, milk, or sugar? Thus, certainly begins the agony of imprecisely guessing the required amounts of ingredients without which most recipes fail, especially when it comes to cakes.

• The kitchen measures in the recipes must be strictly followed if you want to cook the dish you envisioned. It is not easier to guess the measurements without a scale, when everything comes down to spoons, glasses, and cups. Then the general confusion is joined by foreign measuring units for cooking, about which we know nothing, so every cake preparation is preceded by a serious calculation and internet search.

• Cooking measures can be a real lifesaver, and these tips and tricks to make it easier to deal with measurements and measurements in recipes, which you can read below, will also help you.

• It should be kept in mind when we use measurements without a scale, which quantities in grams are involved, whether it is liquids, measuring flour, measuring sugar or the famous measuring of flour with a spoon.
