What to look for
Choose clearly marked spoons and stable cups. US cups and metric cups differ, so use the system specified in the recipe.
How to use it
Level dry spoon measures unless the recipe says heaped.
Read a liquid jug on a level surface at eye height.
Do not treat a cup of every ingredient as the same weight.
Make it last
Wash and dry before measuring ingredients that clump. Replace sets with unreadable markings.
