About this weight
Our figures follow a two-source policy: King Arthur's spooned-and-leveled weights for dry ingredients, and measured density for liquids. The typical published range is shown so you can see how much methods differ. Leaveners and seasonings are measured per level teaspoon; heaped spoons can carry half again as much, which is why precise bakers level with a knife.
