How To Measure Ounces 12 Steps With Pictures

Avoid holding the cup in your hand while measuring, as the reading will be slightly off.

Any utensil with a straight, flat edge (like a spatula) can be used as an alternative to a knife.

If you have an older, mechanical scale, turn the knob back to the zero mark after placing the measuring cup on it. For balance scales, set the pointer to the center mark.

Make sure the scale is set to ounces before measuring your ingredient.
