FAQs & Answers
- How can I accurately measure ingredients without a scale? You can accurately measure ingredients by using tablespoons or teaspoons, but it's important to know the weight of the specific ingredient you're measuring, as different ingredients have different weights per tablespoon. For example, 1 tablespoon of sugar weighs about 12 grams, while 1 tablespoon of flour weighs around 8 grams.
- What is the best way to level off a spoon for accurate measurements? To level off a spoon, use a straight edge like a knife or a spatula. Simply scrape along the edge of the spoon to remove any excess, ensuring an accurate measurement.
- Can I use measuring spoons for baking? Yes, measuring spoons are commonly used for baking, especially for small quantities. Ensure you use appropriate measurements for each ingredient, as precision is key in baking.
- What can I use instead of a kitchen scale? If you don’t have a kitchen scale, you can use measuring cups and spoons to approximate weights. Refer to standard weight conversions for common ingredients, and use the approximate measurements discussed in the video for better accuracy.
