Question

1. when measuring liquid ingredients, you should... *

○ hold the liquid measuring cup in your hand to read
○ fill to the top of a dry measuring cup
○ place it on a table and bend to eye level to read
○ pour liquid in cup to estimate amount

1. when measuring dry ingredients, you should... *

○ fill to top of cup
○ fill to top and shake off excess of ingredient
○ fill to top and use finger to level off
○ fill to top and level with a straight edge spatula

Explanation:

Question 90

To measure liquid ingredients accurately, holding the cup in hand can cause inaccurate reading due to tilting. Dry measuring cups are for dry ingredients, not liquids. Estimating is not precise. Placing the liquid measuring cup on a table and reading at eye level ensures the meniscus (curved surface of liquid) is read correctly for accuracy.

For dry ingredients (like flour), after filling the measuring cup to the top, a straight - edge spatula is used to level off the excess for an accurate measurement. Filling to the top and shaking off or using a finger may not give a precise amount, and just filling to the top without leveling is also inaccurate.

Answer:

C. Place it on a table and bend to eye level to read
