Ok, time to learn about the ingredients measuring terms often used in recipes. Some are rather common and you should already know such as 1cm=10mm, 1kg=1000g, 1L=1000ml...so I will not elaborate much about that. If you look at the following table and know how to prepare the correct quantity of ingredients, you're pass and safe to buy a recipe book, else...don't waste money on expensive books for now. Here's the table:-
Term/ Abbreviation | Description |
tsp | teaspoon, smaller than tablespoon |
tbsp | tablespoon, bigger than teaspoon |
to taste | as enough/ a sprinkle/ a dash |
L | litre (can use mineral water bottle to measure) |
ml | millilitre (can use mineral water bottle to measure) |
g/ gm | gram (use kitchen scale to measure or refer to packaging) |
kg/ kgm | kilogram (use kitchen scale to measure) |
cup | (use the cup that comes with rice cooker) |
