a dial to indicate weight. More accurate
digital scales are electrically operated and
provide a digital read out.

for easy pouring. Sizes are pints, quarts, halfgallons, and gallons. Each size is marked off
into fourths by ridges on the sides.

of ingredients. Often in both metric and
American units

4. Measuring
spoons

both dry and liquid ingredients accurately

5. Ladles

punch and sauces

6. Scoops

Scoops come in standards sizes and have a


lever for mechanical release. They are used
for portioning soft solid foods. The number
of scoop indicates the number of level
scoopfuls per quart. In actual use, a rounded
scoopful is often more practical than a level
scoopful, so exact weights will vary.

for many purposes.

thermometer

A meat thermometer indicates internal


temperature of meats. It is inserted before
cooking and left in the product during

9. Instant-read
thermometer

An instant-read thermometer gives readings


within a few seconds of being inserted in a
food product. It reads from 0F to 220F.
Many chefs carry these in their jacket pocket
like a pen, ready whenever needed. Instantread thermometers must not be left in meats
during roasting, or they will be damaged.
