Seriously. Many ingredients are different depending on if they’re packed, scooped, or sifted. 1 cup of brown sugar can be very different than another cup.
I tried this with cocoa powder before, as I’ve seen some people in cooking videos shake the cocoa in the cup, and shake the cup to flatten it. And others scoop the cocoa with a spoonand flatten it with the spoon to fill the cup.
The second method yielded over 1.6 times the amount of cocoa powder!
I wish more recipes used grams alongside volume measurements.
Yeah man, can’t believe some recipes go to 11.
Can’t they just make the 10 higher?
Any baking recipe that doesn’t list all measurements by weight belongs in the trash.
mfw I finally find someone else who writes “250gr water” in their cooking notes
Fortunately water is the easiest thing to convert.

!cico@lemmy.world feels this in their soul
That would only work for substances with a density of 1
That’s not even a real measurement. 1 what? Also, grams works just fine as a measurement. Many recipes in other countries use exclusively grams.
And eggs.
