Measuring quinoa by the cup
Match the preparation in the ingredient name. This is a household cup estimate; use the recipe’s weight when it gives one.
Level dry ingredients with a flat edge instead of leaving a heap, and read liquids on a flat surface at eye level. When a recipe gives grams, a kitchen scale is the surest way to match it.
