Weights and Measures
Remember, when using Weights and Measures in cooking, as a general rule only use one set of measures throughout the recipe you are using.Do not mix metric, imperial and/or cup quantities from any single recipe.
Spoon Measures
When using spoon measurements in a recipe, table cutlery and serving spoons are not suitable to measure with due to them not being of a uniform size or a standard capacity.
Always use standard measuring utensils, these are available at all good cookery shops.
