Cooking Tips
If you're a seasoned cook- Chances are more, than likely you rarely, or never measure any of your ingredients. So a cup of this, a cup of that, a teaspoon of this, and a teaspoon of that... Often to the more seasoned cook- is a smidgen of this and a smidgen of that. Or as my daughter Curious Christy would say; "I just eyeball it."
But if you are a newbie and your just learning to cook. Don't fret! Today I'm going to share some life changing kitchen measurement hacks with you!
The truth of the matter is-
You don't have to rush out and buy all the different kitchen measurement tools. You can be a excellent cook. Without having to buy much of anything. Another good point I'd like to add. By being minimalistic, there's no kitchen clutter.
So yes, you can prepare any recipe in excellent absolution. Just by using what you already have.
Measuring Ingredients Without The Gadgets:
1/2 cup = 1/2 of a small coffee cup filled.
1 cup = small coffee cup.
1 tablespoon = big dinner spoon.
1 teaspoon = dessert spoon.
1 teaspoon = a quarters size.
A large pinch between your thumb, and pointing fingers = 1/4 teaspoon.
2 large pinches = 1 teaspoon.
4 large pinches = 1 Tablespoon
Measuring Wet And Dry Ingredients: Are the measurements the same?
Yes, 1 cup of liquid measures the same as 1 cup of dry ingredients.
So if you have a liquid measuring cup- by all means it can also be used to measure any dry ingredients.
Folks, the list could run a country mile long. But if you follow these basics, they'll not let you down. On that point, I can assure you!
