![]() ![]() I often use this Ingredient weight chart. NUTS – almonds, walnuts, hazelnuts, pecans Brown sugar, on the other hand, should be pressed firmly into a dry measure so it holds the shape when it is turned out.īAKING POWDER, BAKING SODA AND ACTIVE DRY YEAST – using a measuring spoon, lightly scoop out of the container. SUGAR– granulated or powdered sugar should be spooned into a dry measuring cup and leveled off. After you’ve spooned the flour into the measuring cup, use the back of a knife to level off the top of the measuring cup. Do not shake the cup and don’t use the spoon to pack the flour down into the cup. ![]() Keep spooning the flour into the cup until it mounds well above the top of the measuring cup. LIQUID(water, milk, oil) – fill the cup to the appropriate line place the cup on a flat surface, then view it at eye level as you pour the liquid.įLOUR – Measuring flour incorrectly is one of the most common mistakes people make in baking and cooking. To measure flour correctly, lightly spoon the flour directly into the measuring cup from the container or bag – DO NOT SCOOP. I suggest when you use my recipe, especially for desserts, that you use kitchen scale if you have one. In my recipes you will always find both measurments (grams/ mililiters and cups/spoons). When I cook/bake and develope recipes, I always use kitchen scale to get exact weight then I use cups and spoons to convert it into volume. It took me a while to learn how to measure flour correctly, and what the hack means to pack the (brown) sugar and to be honest, I still do not measure butter with cups and spoons, because I don’t know how ( ok, no problem with melted butter, but cold one, totally different story), so I’m using cheat sheet for that one □. It was so much easier to measure and cook/bake by these recipes. Liquids are measured in fluid ounces, and there are 8 fluid ounces in 1 cup. With liquids, the answer is simple and easy to remember. Since I was lazy to write it down, I had to turn on my computer every time and search the internet to get correct calculation, how many milliliters is 1 cup of milk or how many grams is 1 cup of flour etc…Īfter a while I decided to buy the measuring cups and spoons. For example, in the US, 1 cup equals 8 oz. Their carafe had markings in both 5-ounce increments and 4-ounce increments to make it easy to compare pre-brewed water amounts with brewed coffee.When I first started using the recipes of my fellow bloggers from the US, I was completely confused with their method of measurement. Coffee introduced a coffee maker that used 5 ounces of water as the standard measurement. The blame seems to be traced back to the early 1970s when Mr. If you think this is unnecessarily complicated, we agree. Image Credit: Anshu A, Unsplash A Bit of History To brew 16 ounces of coffee, you need to use 20 ounces of water, meaning you need to fill your carafe up to the 4th line. Let’s say you want to wind up with two 8-ounce mugs of coffee. Let’s work through a concrete example to make sure everything is crystal clear. ![]() Remember that brewing with 20 ounces of water will net you about 16 ounces of brewed coffee. The carafe will typically have markings at 4, 6, 8, 10, and 12 corresponding to 20, 30, 40, 50, and 60 ounces of water. As an example, consider a 12-cup coffee maker. Many automatic drip coffee makers have two sets of lines on the carafe, one for measuring water and the other for measuring brewed coffee. Things are getting out of hand so let’s summarize: US Legal Cups 8.5 oz Calculation: 1 US Legal Cups 8.50 8.50 oz End result: 1 US Legal Cups is equal to 8.50 oz Two cups of milk to oz. To make matters worse, 1 legal cup is also defined as eight US nutritional fluid ounces, which are not the same as US customary fluid ounces. The official name for this slightly larger cup is a “legal” cup since it is the legal definition of a cup recognized in the United States. This means that if you pour some fluid from a bottle labeled to contain 1 cup, your measuring cup will actually only fill to slightly below the 1-cup line. For labeling purposes, 1 cup is equal to 240 milliliters, slightly larger than the 236.6 milliliters size of a customary cup. You’ll notice the first sign of trouble if you try to corroborate the size of a bottle of something by measuring it yourself. Technically, the correct unit is customary fluid ounces rather than plain ounces, but we’ll get to that. There’s no funny business surrounding customary cups, and they’re simply 8 ounces of some fluid. In the United States, the standard 8-ounce cup everyone uses for cooking and baking is technically called a customary cup. ![]() When Is a Cup Not a Cup? Ounces in a Coffee Cup ![]()
