Containers & Partitives Dictation: Small Quantities in Cooking

Hear the amount before you focus on the ingredient. A pinch, handful and spoonful all give different ways of measuring a small quantity. A dash and a drop are not the same amount either. These are practical descriptions, so you do not need to turn them into exact measurements. Listen for numbers and plural endings, then the quiet of. The action and timing also belong in your answer: adding something before serving and finishing a dish with it describe different steps.
