Additional Measurement Instructions
Some recipes use additional instructions that require a specific amount of the ingredient, such as 2 heaped tablespoons of flour:
·            Dash, splash or Pinch
Generally considered to be less than 1/8 teaspoon.
·            Firmly Packed
With a spatula, a spoon or your hand, tightly press the ingredient into the measuring cup. You should measure as much of the ingredient as you can fit into the measure.
·            Lightly Packed
Press the ingredient into the measuring cup lightly. Make sure there are no air pockets, but do not compress it too much either.
·            Even / Level
Measure the amount precisely, discarding the entire ingredient that rises above the rim of the measuring cup. The back of a straight knife works well for this.
·            Rounded
Do not flatten out the ingredient to the top of the measuring cup. Instead allow it to pile up above the rim naturally, into a soft, rounded shape.
·           Heaped
Pile as much of the ingredient on top of the measure as it can hold.
·          Sifted
Sift with a strainer or sifter before measuring to ensure ingredient is not compacted and there is no other foreign substance in it.
