I’m tired of guessing which country the author is from when they use cup measurement and how densely they put flour in it.
minus-squareSkualinkfedilink1•1 month agoI do like when recipes give me liquids by weight as well. One tool for measuring everything is nice.
minus-square@TreczokslinkEnglish0•1 month agoHere the metric system comes to help: almost any liquid in the kitchen is about as dense as water, so 1ml = 1g. Oils are a bit less dense, but there you just subtract 10%, i.e. 100ml rapeseed oil is about 90g. Honey is a far outlier with 1.4g/ml, but it usually given in grams.
