Lesson
PERFORM MENSURATION
2 AND CALCULATION

Welcome to the Module “Performing Mensuration and Calculation”. This


module contains training materials and activities for you to complete. The unit of
competency “Perform Mensuration and Calculation” contains knowledge, skills and

What’s New

Proper measuring is a crucial part of successful baking. Unlike cooking,


where you can often get away with eyeballing the amount of ingredients you put in
the dish. Baking is chemistry and requires precision. Add too much flour to cake
batter and the cake may come out tough and dry. Not enough flour and you risk

ending up with a badly structured cake that will collapse in the oven.

There are two main types of measuring cups—dry measuring cups and liquid
measuring cups—and it matters which one you use. Dry measuring cups are
designed to measure dry ingredients like flour, nuts, and berries, while liquid
measuring cups are designed to measure liquids like water, cooking oil, and yogurt.

Liquid measuring cups are usually glass or plastic with a handle. They allow
you to pour a liquid into the cup and bring it even with a measurement line without
spilling. Dry measuring cups, on the other hand, hold the exact amount of an
ingredient and should be leveled off with a flat edge.

Using the right type of measuring cup can determine the outcome of the
recipe you’re making. In baking, making improper measurements can completely
throw off a recipe. For example, when measuring flour, a dry measuring cup lets
you portion out the exact amount that you need.
