Measuring salt by the cup
Use fine table salt. Coarse and kosher salts can weigh very differently for the same spoonful.
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.
