what does the word heaping mean in cooking?

Answer 1

heaping
- more than filled: in sufficient quantity to rise above the rim of a shallow container, especially a spoon or plate, in a small heap

Answer 2

Heaping means to leave as much as will stay in a spoon without falling off the sides when held level. For example a heaping spoonful of sugar would form a small cone of sugar above the rim of the spoon. You couldn't do this with a liquid, only dry or thick substances. A level spoonful is when you fill a spoon with a dry or thick substance and then drag it under a straight edge to knock off all that rises above the rim of the spoon.

Answer 3

It would mean to dig spoon into the ingredient and just lift out and what stays on the spoon is the amount.A recipe when it calls for a teaspoon that would mean that you take a knife and level the top off before adding to the recipe..Heaping means Full Piled High.....

Answer 4

Heaping means a full or rounded measurement of anything.

Answer 5

Rounded, over the top. As in a "heaping teaspoon", which would be a teaspoon filled, but just a little bit over-filled.

Answer 6

When a recipe tells you to add a teaspoon, they mean a level teaspoon or as close to it as you can get. When they say a heaping teaspoon, they mean a mountainous teaspoon. Hope this clears up any problems.

Answer 7

If you were measuring a 'heaping' teaspoon, measure out a teaspoon that is rounded at the top so you get a little more than a teaspoon.

Answer 8

eg. heaping tablespoon ....it means that u do not level off the spoon, basically whatever fits on the spoon.

Answer 9

Over full or rounded.
