When a recipe says "3 cups powdered sugar, sifted", what that means is to measure first, then sift. When a recipe says
3 cups "sifted powdered sugar", this means you should sift the sugar first, then measure. The same would apply for flour or any other dry ingredient where sifting is called for.
YES
when i got a kitchen scale my life changed...they are cheap and soo convenient.... and you use less dishes!!!
***** agreed
n u can be a drug dealer!!!
I have a set of measuring cups for American recipes, but being from the UK, I use a kitchen scale more often, as I find that measuring by weight rather than volume is far more accurate, and much less trouble (especially when it comes to measuring butter).
THANK YOU FOR THE TIPS...SO HELPFUL ESPECIALLY SINCE I'M A NOVICE BAKER!!!!!!🙄
Thanks so much for these great tips Thomas !
This is going to help me a lot! Thanks :)
Ooooor you can just weigh them. So much easier, more convenient, and exact amount every single time.
Thank you for this helpful video!🌞
I will never understand why people use anything else than a scale.
I'm from asian country but I used volume measurement all the time. It's easy and convenient. Cooking/baking supposed to be fun, why weigh things precisely when you can just scoop them right to the mixing bowl. Simple as that.
One is because is i don't have a kitchen scale yet.
+Vivi an But weighting thing directly into the mixing bowl is also simple, more accurate, and environmental friendly (because you will not have to wash a lot of measuring cups/spoons). And (at least for me), less meassy (avoiding flour/sugar) spliting from the cups onto the working surface. I am really not trying to start sn argument here, but weighting thing is so easy and straighfoward.
+Vivi an But on a side note, instead of fighting over the best way of measuring, why don't we concentrate on noticing how handsome/cute Thomas Joseph is! ;-)
scale..........?¿
this is why i hate recipes that use cups instead of grams...
+fidottt I totally agree with you 😃.
Me too. Especially the pound cake, where people complains about caster suger yielding "too much sugar per cup"
Agree
You can learn! Years ago I had to learn how to see the temperatures in Fahrenheit instead of Celsius when I moved out to this country.
I hate when the instructions want you to add 1 dry cup of water, but you end up ruining the recipe by using a wet cup of water
Thanks so much. This was very useful info.
Great program chef Josef!. 👏👍great cooking tips
I definitely love love love love your videos you explain everything fabulously.
I have a question I'm having problems with the blue coloring every time I put the color on any mix that have eggs it turns greenish. I've tried gel coloring paste coloring and powder coloring. Do you have any recommendation?
Very helpful presentation! Thank you very much for sharing
Could I borrow this video and use it to my next lesson please
Titli Nihaan proved that measuring cups doesn't show the real volumes of products. She put a measuring cup on her scale and poured 300 grams of water what equals 300ml. The water level was below the 300ml mark on the measuring cup. When she poured some more water to bring its level to the mark on the cup, the scale showed that there's 320 grams of water. There are some recipes that don't need precision in volumes of wet and dry ingredients, but there are a lot of them that being precise when measuring ingredients is extremely crucial to get the perfect result and not end up with a total failure.
Besides, what's even more important American cups are different than those that are used in Europe, Asia or Australia. This 10ml difference can cause a disaster in baking, especially when it comes to baking bread. That's why I and many other people consider using cups measurement as something absolutely unprofessional.
***** Where I live there aren't big differences between what's on the packet and the real weight of the product. Usually it's one to five grams more than the company declares. I noticed that when the recipes are in grams/ml the results are so much better. :)
Such great tips
thanks for the tips !
Imperial measurements are freakin confusing!
very useful information!
very useful thank you
thank you for very informative on how to measure correctly
Worldwide #NotAllMeasuringCupsAreTheSame - so if the recipe is in 'cups' make sure you know what size cup.
that’s so overcomplicated 😭
why can’t America just have a normal measurement system
Good program👍👏
Very helpful
The convention in the U.S. is this: If a dry ingredient is listed in ounces, it's a unit of weight and should be measured on a scale. If a wet ingredient is listed in ounces, it's fluid ounces and should be measured in a wet measuring cup. Chocolate chips, oats, flour, pasta, and rice are all things that would be listed in ounces (weight), while water, stock, milk, cream, honey, or oil would all be listed in fluid ounces (volume).
What brand of measuring cups did you use here? It looks like some of them are a nice solid seamless measure.
Perfect!👌🏾
What set of dry measuring cups are those? I'd like to buy them!
So good sr
Please give us more lessons , i like how you explain things
Thank you!😘
Very nice...
Could you please reply the tips?I just need it in my assignment.Sml
Thank you so much this is of great help.very thoughtful to have made this one
Thank you
I learned to bake with cups and it's worked just fine. I've used my scale for when I divide recipes. My question, all my recipes (cookbooks) are in cup format, is there a quick and easy way to convert to weight? It seems like I'd have to make a table with all different ingredients as their weights are different? 1 cup mayo isn't going to be the same weight as 1 cup powered sugar. Any ideas?
When you are dealing with things like butter, crisco and they have to be extremely cold, is the water displacement method the best to use?
I just bought those metal measuring cups from the martha stewart kitchen collection. :-)
tq chef❤👍
i like this video it was good
Hi great video..But what about cocoa powder? Does the same rule of the flour apply to it as well?
what about butter do you measure it hard or when its soften ? for instance if a recipe calls for 3oz
this video is amazing my ambition in life is a Chef
Can u make a video on different mixing bowls (glass ones )
Very helpful. Thank you so much!
After ten years in Sydney I now only use weight not volume when measuring, its so much more accurate and really quite easy.
Melbnolan Yes because it turns out the same all the time❣️
I believe this is what I needed to see! my pound cake on the inside didn't taste good but the outside did😔
Nice
pls do measuring dry ingredient from cup to grams?
salam sis, pic so cuute
Some youtubers when they measure and stuff they say milliliters or liters or something like that can you explain to me how much to make it perfectly like how much it's supposed to be
What about if the recipe calls for 1/4 cup of water? Should we use the measuring glass or is it ok to use the measuring spoon for 1/4 cup?
Wow 😲
This showing my age, but in my career I work with both East and West Germans. (If you can even remember there was two different kinds.) The one thing they both did, despite the big wall dividing them, was they only used grams. After working with them I got into the habit and never looked back. It was a blessing when the cooking world moved to hyper modern cuisine where measures became extremely small and precise( E.G 1.2g Xanthum gum, 0.8g Lecithin powder, 2.6g Agar.) Simply stated, a recipe stating 1/4 of a 1/4 teaspoon would have never worked in those days. It needed to be metric, and it required highly precise measurements for the time.
is it one cup or 7 oz i dont understand the recipies o.19 ? thank you
My conundrum this week: where's Sarah? LOL.
Good day, may I ask permission to use this video for my teaching demonstration. I'll put the source on my credits. Thank you.
Hi
I need to know how should i measure butter for recipes that doesnt state melted. Like should i get the bar and put it on the weighing machine or should melt it anyway and then measure?
Weigh solid butter if it does not explicitly ask you to melt it. Normally a recipe calls for fractions of a stick.
Salam my sis
What about cups to gram?
What measurement cups do you use ?
Been trying to make the French macaroons and to my disappointment nothing comes out as it should be. Either the outer shell is cooked and he inside still raw or it doesn't have legs. Can you show what a lava like consistency should be? Thank you :)
im at school LOL watching this
Are there any other options of the wet measuring cup?
If the metal cups are only for dry, how do you measure a teaspoon or tablespoon?
I always measure my vanilla extract in the teaspoon size plastic cup that I usually only measure dry in.
Is that ok?
Need help in conversion of measurement of gram and cup... Beside that, is one cup of butter have the same weight as obe of flour... Please help me
How do you measure when it calls for 1 and 3/4 table spoon or 1/4 tablespoon or tea spoon of wet or dry
Thanks for the explanation of weights and measures. I would like to know how do I measure a cup of butter as specified in a recipe. What does a cup of butter weigh? Thanks. Fatima
Each stick of butter is 1/2 a cup. So if you need 1 cup of butter, that'll be 2 full sticks :)
Each half cup (or stick) of butter weighs 4 oz.
This is very helpful, but I have no idea why I don't get it.
please more information about sourdough or starter dough thankyou
So is 8oz soften butter measured as dry or wet?
this is THE testimonial of inefficiency of American measuring system.
1 1BS of confectionary sugar equals how many dry cups
I'm wanting to learn everything about cooking!! How can I start without wasting
Wonderful video. However wouldn't the stems from the fruits add to the weight?
One day , I look to my brown sugar and it was hard as rock . I put a quarter of an apple in it , closed the bag and left it for a while . After maybe 3 to 4 hours , without een touching it , all the sugar I could take it easily with a spoon. I kept that brown sugar bag for weeks , after that day , and it kept to be smooth and easy to take with a spoon . SO , the apple trick works realy well.
In France ,many housekeepers , now , have a measuring bowl with columns. At the top of the columns , one could read : farine ( flour ), riz ( rice , that one was hard to find ) , semoule (semolina ), sucre (sugar ) etc.... So , you put the ingredient in the transparent bowl like in a measuring cup and up to the horizontal line you need : 50 gr/ 100 gr/ 150 gr of whatever you are measuring.In some dessert, though , which needs to be very acurate, a scale will be needed since 50 gr of flour doesn't have always the same volume .The french bowl by volume for the dry ingredients in grams,can be find in kitchen speciality boutiques or large stores, probably even Amaz.....
If you can , buy 2 or 3 pyrex cups for measuring liquid . It is useful when for the same cake , you need to measure ,milk , cream , honey , rhum , orange juice. You can prepared the 3 cups without washing in between .
How do you weigh butter?
Where can we buy these measuring: spoons, dry cups, wet cups ? Links ? Brands ? Locations ? Any type of reference ?
Thanks.
Just by a scale!
How do we measure the cake's weight in total? As in, if we want to make a half kilo cake, then should we add up all the ingredients to get the total?
i do not have a special measuring cup for liquids... can i also use the „dry- measuring-cups“ for liquids?
and if not, for what reason?
It's just easier to measure without spilling. They measure the same.
Why don't you just weigh your ingredients? It is so much more accurate.
Exactly
not everybody has a scale
But still, everybody has a vast array of cups and these cups never give the same results. Right?
A scale is way less expensive of the amount of other tools that you need for measuring,and they will never be as precise!
My thoughts exactly!!!
can you do an episode on converting whole recipes into smaller recipes
How many teaspoon in 2(.25 ounce) yeast? Thanks
idgi this is so much work for what😭 literally a scale will solve this
and how about butter or melted butter
You don't really have to measure it. When you buy the butter, it comes in half-cup packs. Most people use block butter instead of butter that comes in a giant container because, block butter is easier to use.
When a recipe asks for 2 tbps of butter. Do you consider it 2tbsp unmelted or melted butter. Or does it not matter. Thanks
theeGAME360 unmelted ofc
A standard stick of butter is 4oz. There are 2tbsp in 1oz. Therefore, 2tbsp of butter is 1/4 of a stick.
