Measurements

Introduction

Across all types of cooking, it is important to have some consistent standards. Using the right vessels and the right volumes of the right ingredients is key. Measurements are often expressed in different terms in different sources. It is therefore useful to maintain a list of measurements which are easy to use. It is then important to ensure that all cooking instructions reference only these measurements, and nothing outside of it.
