BRIEF INTRODUCTION

Measuring the right amount of ingredients depends largely on the proper

use of standard measuring tools so that accuracy in measurement is obtained.
There are three methods commonly used in measurement, namely: by volume,
by weight and by units. The standard measuring cups and spoons are examples
of tool for small measure; the weighing scale is used for measuring large amount
of ingredients.

For easier reading, units of weight and measure can be written in

abbreviation and symbols. Some of the commonly used abbreviations and
symbols are:

Units of Abbreviation/Symbol
Measurement Units of Abbreviation/Symbol
CAPACITY/ VOLUME Measurement
Cup c. WEIGHT
Fluid ounce fl.oz Gram g
Gallon gal Kilogram kg
Liter L Microgram mg
Milliliter’s ml Ounce oz
Pint pt Pound lb
