How to Measure Accurately
MEASURING CUP MARKED IN QUARTERS
MEASURING CUP MARKED IN THIRDS
A system of accurate measurements is absolutely necessary to insure success. Scientific training has exploded the old idea, that “with good judgment and experience measuring ingredients by sight will do.” The exact quantity called for, measured each time in the same utensil whatever it be, cup, tablespoon or teaspoon are definite guides that must be followed if success would be attained. Enameled measuring cups marked plainly in quarters or thirds each holding a half-pint, a teaspoon holding sixty drops, a tablespoon of ordinary size (do not mistake a dessert spoon for this spoon) and a case-knife are the few essentials that must be used for measuring ingredients in the recipes incorporated in this book. These utensils may be purchased at any kitchen-furnishing shop for a nominal sum.
