***************

...Precise measurements can be vital to cooking and baking success. Keep our essential guide handy for all the weights and measures you might need.

Taste also now offers a series of calculators to help you with some of the conversions in these charts.
Does your equipment measure up?

Use Australian Standard measuring cups and spoons. The plastic ones found in supermarkets and kitchenware shops are a perfect choice. Check the metal ones and overseas brands as most are not Australian standard and therefore not suitable for Australian recipes.

Use cup and spoon measures for dry and solid ingredients and a measuring jug for liquid ingredients.

When measuring dry or solid ingredients, dip the cup or spoon measure into the food and lift out. Use the edge of a knife to srubbishe across the surface, removing excess ingredients so the surface is flat. When measuring liquids, place the jug onto a flat surface and bend down to check at eye level.....
