Measuring tips
- Brand, grind and crystal size change how much fits in a cup. For example, table salt and kosher salt weigh different amounts per cup.
- Weigh in grams on a kitchen scale for the most accurate result, and set the scale to zero (tare) with the bowl on it.
- This site uses the US cup of 236.6 ml. A metric cup is 250 ml, so recipes from the UK, Australia or New Zealand can differ.
- Check whether the recipe means the ingredient sifted, packed, melted or cooked, because that changes the weight per cup.
