Mixing formula question

Why does it say on the can "unpacked" scoops? What do they mean by that exactly? Am I supposed to be mixing heaping scoops?

Re: Mixing formula question

I think it also says level scoops, right?

It just means scoop it up ans don't sqish it down to make room for more.

I used to scoop it then level the top with a knife or the top of the can.

yes - it says unpacked level scoop, but how do you level without packing it down a little, if that makes sense... but I see what you mean - they dont want people stuffing the scoop I guess?

just lightly run your finger or the flat side of a knife across the top of the scoop to level it off. don't press it in there.

i called the company and asked them what that meant when i started on formula. they said you scoop the formula into the scoop, dont pack it down and leave airpockets if you see them. don't press formula into the scoop

Thanks ladies.

This is another one of those moments when I think - gee, I have 2 masters degrees and an advanced degree. Why does something like formula baffle me?Chat Icon
