OBJECTIVE At the end of the experiment you will be able to:1. Compare the accuracy of home measuring equipment and weighing ingredients on the scale.2. Discuss the advantages of sieving dry produce when weighing it.3. Identify problems associated with measuring solid fats and sugar using home measuring equipment.4. Compare the accuracy of volume measurements using a household measuring cup and a graduated cylinder.5. Evaluate the aesthetic values ​​of biscuits based on subjective tests. INTRODUCTION Due to the chemistry involved in cooking, precise measurements for both liquid and dry ingredients are important. The correct balance of ingredients will not only ensure that the food turns out tasty, but also that the ingredient ratios produce the right consistency and density. The most common measurements of ingredients at home use cups and spoons. Ingredients such as flour, rice, fat, butter and sugar, which are usually used in larger quantities, are measured using cups. The measurements used are 1 cup, ½ cup and ¼ cup. Cup measurements are made by lightly pouring dry ingredients into the measuring cup until full, then scraping the level using the straight side of a metal spatula for 1 cup, ½ cup, and ¼ cup. Next, weigh the ingredients on the scale to take readings. While ingredients like salt and yeast that are used in smaller quantities will be measured using tablespoons which are tablespoon or teaspoon. The spoon sizes used are 1 tablespoon, 1 teaspoon, ½ teaspoon and ¼ teaspoon. You take the ingredient by placing it in the spoon then leveling it with the metal spatula then measuring it on the scale and recording the reading...... in the center of the paper ......g excellent, but also the ratios of the ingredients produce the right consistency and density. Therefore, precise measurements of ingredients are important in order to produce a great tasting food. For measurements of liquids such as oils and water, correct eye level when reading measurements is important because incorrect eye level will make the measurement reading inaccurate. The measuring cup should be placed on a flat surface and read the readings with your eye at liquid level. The surface of the water curves downward, so use the bottom of the curve for an accurate measurement and not the edge that sits against the measuring cup. Since hedonic test is used to describe the degree of acceptance of a product by the consumer. Therefore, it should be carried out on the target consumer category so that the results obtained can best describe the needs of consumers.
