More accurate measurements become important in the large volumes used in commercial food production. Also, a home cook can use greater precision at times. Water at 4.0 °C (39.2 °F) may be volumetrically measured then weighed to determine an unknown measuring-utensil volume [13] without the need for a water-density adjustment. [14]
For several years, TRG Group was the Victorinox licensee for the manufacturing of luggage and travel-oriented products. Victorinox integrated TRG Group in the company as the Victorinox Travel Gear division. [11] In 2017, Victorinox decided to close the apparel division with the purpose of focusing in other core product lines. [12]
The text currently reads, "In the U.S.A., Fannie Farmer introduced the more exact specification of quantities by volume in her 1896 Boston Cooking-School Cook Book." I'm looking at the 1896 edition on Google Books , and find the statement misleading. I expected it to mean that she standardized the measurements like teaspoonful and tablespoonful.
The balance (also balance scale, beam balance and laboratory balance) was the first mass measuring instrument invented. [1] In its traditional form, it consists of a pivoted horizontal lever with arms of equal length – the beam or tron – and a weighing pan [10] suspended from each arm (hence the plural name "scales " for a

The Swiss Army Knife was not the first multi-use pocket knife. In 1851, in Moby-Dick (chapter 107), Herman Melville mentions the "Sheffield contrivances, assuming the exterior – though a little swelled – of a common pocket knife; but containing, not only blades of various sizes, but also screwdrivers, cork-screws, tweezers, bradawls, pens, rulers, nail files and countersinkers."
A kitchen knife is any knife that is intended to be used in food preparation.While much of this work can be accomplished with a few general-purpose knives — notably a large chef's knife and a smaller serrated blade utility knife — there are also many specialized knives that are designed for specific tasks such as a tough cleaver, a small paring knife, and a bread knife.
A spring scale, spring balance or newton meter is a type of mechanical force gauge or weighing scale. It consists of a spring fixed at one end with a hook to attach an object at the other. [ 1 ] It works in accordance with Hooke's Law , which states that the force needed to extend or compress a spring by some distance scales linearly with ...
