Baking bread is in part a science and each
ingredient plays an integral role. Therefore care
should be taken when weighing and
measuring ingredients to obtain accuracy.
Recipes in this instruction booklet have been
developed using Australian Metric Weights and
Measurements.
Australian Metric Measurements
1 teaspoon 5ml
1 tablespoon 20ml
1 cup 250ml
METRIC WEIGHING SCALES
For greater accuracy and consistant results it is
recommend that a set of metric weighing scales
should be used as they provide greater accuracy
than measuring cups.
Tare (zero) the scales with the container in
position then spoon or pour ingredients in until
desired weight is achieved.
METRIC MEASURING CUPS AND SPOONS
If using the graduated METRIC measuring cups,
it is important to spoon or scoop the dry
ingredients loosely into the required cup. Do not
tap the cup on the bench, or pack the
ingredients into the cup UNLESS otherwise
directed. Level the top of cup with a knife. When
using graduated metric measuring spoons, level
top of spoon with a straight edged knife or
spatula.
DO NOT USE TABLEWARE SPOONS OR
CUPS.
METRIC LIQUID MEASURING JUGS
When measuring liquids use a graduated,
METRIC measuring jug. Place jug on a flat
surface, check for accuracy at eye level.
DO NOT USE TABLEWARE JUGS OR
MEASURING CUPS.

NOTE!
For New Zealand Customers
New Zealand Metric Measurements
1 Metric Cup 250ml
1 tablespoon 15ml
1 teaspoon 5ml
The New Zealand tablespoon is 5ml less than
that of the Australian tablespoon, so care
should be taken when measuring ingredients
to compensate for this variance.
i.e. 1 Australian tablespoon = 1 New Zealand
tablespoon + 1 New Zealand teaspoon.
It is important to note that New Zealand
ingredients, especially flour and yeast, differ
from the Australian equivalents. In the Vital
Ingredients section (pages 15 and 16) suitable
New Zealand products have been listed.
We suggest these New Zealand products be
substituted for the Australian products in the
Easy Bake Recipe Section.
