    How do you measure liquid ingredients?

    • A.

      From above the measuring cup

    • B.

      From below the measuring cup

    • C.

      From eye level with the measuring cup

    • D.

      All of the above

    Correct Answer
    C. From eye level with the measuring cup
    Explanation
    When measuring liquid ingredients, it is important to measure them from eye level with the measuring cup. This ensures accuracy and consistency in the measurement. Measuring from above or below the measuring cup can lead to incorrect measurements due to the distortion caused by the angle. By measuring from eye level, you can ensure that the liquid fills the cup to the correct level, providing an accurate measurement. Therefore, measuring from eye level with the measuring cup is the correct method for measuring liquid ingredients.

    Rate this question:

  • 27. 

    Do liquid ingredients weigh the same as dry ingredients?

    • A.

      Yes

    • B.

      No

    Correct Answer
    B. No
    Explanation
    Liquid ingredients do not weigh the same as dry ingredients. This is because liquids have a different density than solids. Density is the mass of a substance per unit volume. Since liquids are less dense than solids, a given volume of liquid will weigh less than the same volume of a dry ingredient. Therefore, the weight of liquid ingredients will be different from the weight of dry ingredients.
