Kitchen Scales

These might seem essential, but tablespoons can often be used instead, and the wrappers on packs of butter and other solid fats are usually marked in portions of 25 g (1 oz). As a rough guide, each of the following level tablespoon measures is approximately equal to 25 g (1 oz): 2 tablespoons flour, 2 tablespoons rice, 2 tablespoons sugar, 2 tablespoons dried fruit, 3 tablespoons grated cheese, 2 tablespoons soft butter, and 1 tablespoons syrup, treacle or jam. However, if you do a lot of baking, for which accurate measuring is essential, you might like to invest in some scales.
