Tips-Mess-Free-Waste-Free-Dry-Measuring

When measuring dry ingredients like cocoa, flour, or powdered sugar, place the measuring cup in a shallow plastic bowl before filling it. Any overflow is caught in the bowl and easily poured back into the bag or box without mess or waste. You can also use a paper plate in this same way— makes cleanup easy!
