Use a glass measuring cup to measure any kind of liquid.
Use measuring spoons (they come in 1/4, 1/2, 1 teaspoon and 1 Tablespoon sizes)to measure such ingredients as lemon juice, flavorings, salt, spices, etc...
The term "dash" indicates less than 1/8 teaspoon.
Certain ingredients such as flour and packed sugar, should be spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off with a knife. Do Not pack down.

Other ingredients, such as brown sugar, butter or shortening, should be packed down into the cup and then leveled off with a knife.
