to the many new users each year
the reason its sale has grown so
tremendously since 1t was first per.

DEVICES. The fault with your
cooking may be none of yours;
it is quite likely to lie within the
cup you measured with.
Glass measuring cups differ in
quantity of contents due to the
difference in thickness of glass.
Some have very thick bottoms,
and in these a fourth of a cup is
bound to be much less than an
actual fourth. In some cups, ac-
tual measurement has shown one
cup to hold four tablespoons
more than another.
An easy way Of checking ths
capacity of your cup is by filling
it with tablespoonfuls--a standard
cup should hold sixteen table
spoons of any material. More ac-

Cupfuls of flour vary, of course,
unless the flour is sifted at least
once before it is measured. Even
so, there is still a chance of error
if the flour is scooped up by dip
ping the cup into it. Accuracy is
gained by filling the cup with
flour with a small flour scoop and
then leveling the cup off with the
thin edge of a spatula or case
knife resting on 10th edges of the
cup and moved across the top.
Too much flour as the result Of
careless measuring is the cause
