To accurately measure salt and sugar, use a measuring spoon and a flat edge to level it off.
Measuring Granulated Ingredients
For ingredients like granulated salt and sugar, the following method ensures accurate measurement:
- Scooping: Dip your measuring spoon into the salt or sugar, scooping out enough so that the spoon is overflowing.
- Leveling: Use the back of a knife or any flat edge to level off the excess. Run the flat edge of the knife across the top of the measuring spoon, removing the excess to create a level surface.
This method ensures consistency and accuracy in your measurements when cooking or baking.
