 What’s New

What’s Baking?

Look at the recipe below. What is usually found in a recipe? Cooking

and baking provide a time to express creativity, confidence and learn lifelong
skills. In cooking and baking, math skills can also be practice, as you will
learn about measurements and conversion.

Peach Crisp

4 c. sliced peaches – use fresh or canned (drained well)

2 Tbsp. margarine
¾ c. quick-cooking oats
½ c. sugar
¼ c. flour
2 tsp. cinnamon
1 tsp. lemon juice

When it comes to baking, accuracy is everything and could mean the

difference between success or failure in a recipe. Always start with careful
measurements of the ingredients. Proper measuring helps ensure that you
will have a good end product.

 What is It

ABBREVIATIONS OF MEASUREMENTS

It is great to try new recipes when cooking for

yourself or for others. But what happens when you
encounter unfamiliar abbreviation or term when
measuring your ingredients? There can be a big
difference between a tsp and tbsp when preparing
a meal, so it is best to be sure. Here are some
measurement abbreviations that are perfect for
reading recipes.

EQUIVALENTS OF MEASUREMENTS

Now that you have learned the abbreviations all sorted out, it’s time to
learn the most common conversion measurements in cooking.
Understanding these cooking conversions can help you quickly follow
recipes, convert based on your available cooking equipment, or even allow
you to do quick math to slightly alter recipes according to your liking! This
table lists common conversion measures in cooking.
