Good information Toodles. Thanks for posting. After years of cooking, I finally got a scale. I was finding more and more recipes going by weight. |

You also have to watch if the measuring utensil is US or Canadian, there is a difference. For instance: 8 fl ounces US equals 1.04 cups Canadian It matters a lot for some recipes and the problem is compounded if you use a Canadian spoon measurement and a us cup measurement. Unfortunately it is difficult to ascertain if you are buying measuring spoons or cups that are graduated as US or Canadian measures. Edited by Darcie, Mar 12 2014, 04:56 AM.

Well Darcie, that explains some of my cooking failures. I have this one set of measuring spoons that don't inspire confidence. Every one is marked approximately. Like l tbsp (approx.) |
