<p>Learning how to weigh and measure ingredients is a fundamental skill in cooking and a great way for your children to practise their maths skills. Once they’re feeling confident in cooking they can use some estimation for things like stir-fries, pasta sauce or stews, but if you want to get a recipe just right, you need to weigh and measure carefully. For baking recipes such as cakes, biscuits and bread, this is particularly important. There are lots of ways to weigh and measure and many pieces of equipment you can use to help you. Teach your kids how to use these different pieces of kitchen kit and they’ll be able to make almost anything.</p>

<h3>Before you start</h3>
<p>Make sure you have everything you need for the recipe, there’s nothing worse than getting half way through a recipe and discovering you’re missing a vital ingredient or piece of kit. Weighing and measuring your ingredients before you start will help to make you feel organised.</p>

<p><strong>Digital scales </strong></p>
<p>To get accurate measurements it’s best to use digital scales. To use digital scales, turn them on then place a bowl or jug on the scales. Reset the display to zero by pressing the TARE or ON button and make sure they are set to the correct metric (we use g for grams and ml for millilitres at BBC Good Food) now add the ingredient to the bowl/jug until you reach the correct measurement.</p>
<p><strong>Mechanical scales</strong></p>
<p>This type of weighing scale uses a spring to weigh ingredients. Mechanical scales come in all sorts of shapes and sizes. They are not as accurate as a digital scale but are easier to use.</p>

<p><strong>Spoon measures</strong></p>
<p>For measuring small quantities, its useful to use spoon measures – not the spoons you’ll find in the cutlery drawer, these won’t give you accurate measurements!</p>
<p>These come in the following sizes –</p>
<p>tbsp (tablespoon) = 15g</p>
<p>tsp (teaspoon) = 5g</p>
<p>½ tsp = 2.5g</p>
<p>¼ tsp = 1.25g</p>
<p>To measure accurately, fill the measuring spoon right to the top by scooping up the ingredient then swiping across the top of the spoon measure with your finger or a knife.</p>
