Instructions

1. Scoop or pour the item you wish to measure into the measuring cup, generally scooping for dry goods and pouring for liquids. Use the cup measurements for dry goods and the fluid ounce or milliliter amounts for liquids.

2. Put the measuring cup on a level surface and look at it levelly so that your line of sight is horizontal to the line of measure you wish to get.

3. The surface of the item being measured should be parallel to the top of the measurement line. If it isn't, remove or add more as needed.

4. Smooth the surface of a dry good with your hand, a spoon or the flat edge of a straight metal spatula if the measure is to the top of the cup.

5. Add your measured product to the recipe as specified. Use a scrapper to remove liquids if necessary.
