    OBJECTIVEAt the end of the experiment, you will be able to:1. Compare the accuracy of household measuring equipment and the weighing of ingredients on the scale.2. Discuss the benefits of sifting dried products when weighing them.3. Identify problems associated with measuring solid fats and sugar using household 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. INTRODUCTIONDue to the chemistry involved in cooking, precise measurements of liquid and dry ingredients are important. The right balance of ingredients will ensure not only that the food tastes good, but also that the ingredient proportions produce the proper consistency and density. The most common measurements of ingredients at home are done using cups and spoons. Ingredients like flour, rice, shortening, butter and sugar, typically 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 graduated measuring cup until very full then scraping the level using the right side of a metal spatula for 1, ½ cup cup and ¼ cup. After that, weigh the ingredients on the scale to take measurements. While ingredients like salt and baking powder that are used in smaller quantities will be measured using tablespoons or teaspoons. The measurements of the spoons used are 1 tablespoon, 1 teaspoon, ½ teaspoon and ¼ teaspoon. The ingredient is taken by pouring it into the spoon then leveling it with the metal spatula then measuring it in the scale and recording the reading...... middle of paper ...... g great, but also that the ratios of the ingredients produce the appropriate consistency and density. Therefore, precise measurements of ingredients in order to produce a good-tasting food are important. For liquid measurements like oils and water, the correct eye level when reading the measurements is important as poor eye level will result in an inaccurate reading of the measurement. The measuring cup should be placed on a flat surface and take measurements with the eye at the 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 the hedonic test is used to describe the degree of acceptance of a product by the consumer. Therefore, it must be carried out among the targeted category of consumers so that the results obtained can best describe the needs of consumers..
