How to convert dry ounces to cup measurements?
Comments (10)I agree, "get a good scale". Heck, get a cheap scale - just get a scale and eliminate the conversion math quiz. You'll soon be sorry you didn't get a scale a long time ago. There are all kinds of things a scale makes easier in the kitchen. -Divide bread dough into equal amounts so the loaves, rolls, buns, etc. are all the same size and will bake evenly. -When you make layer cakes you can scale the batter in the pans to equal weights so the layers are the same size. -It's a lot easier weighing sticky things than scooping them into cups (although you'd have a hard time getting my Wonder Cup from me ;-). -Accuracy...as already mentioned. If you have 3 people measure 1-cup of flour, they will all be a different weight because of how they fill them. They may be as little as 3.75 oz. to as much as 5 or 6 oz. BTW - There are not any "standards" for how much a cup of flour weighs. Even the "experts" can't decide this one. -Dry measuring cups and spoons sold in the U.S. are not manufactured to a standardized volume, so each set you have may be slightly different in volume. Measuring cups/spoons in the U.K. and Australia are larger than the ones from the U.S. About the only reason measuring cups work at all is because most recipes are based on a ration of ingredients. For instance, a plain cake has, by measure, one-third as much fat as sugar; two-thirds as much milk as sugar; and about three times as much flour as liquid. So you can use measuring cups, grandma's coffee or tea cup, canning jars, or buckets for measuring, as long as you maintain the ration of ingredients. The exact measurement isn't as critical as the ratio of one ingredient to another. -With a scale, when you need 4 oz. of shredded cheese you can weigh it and not try to figure out how many cups that will be, and whether the cup is loose-packed or tightly-packed. It's 4-oz. by weight and you don't have to worry if you've over-stuffed the cup or not put enough in it. -However, accuracy of measurement goes out the window when it comes to flour for bread making - also already mentioned.... Due to the amount of moisture in flour (more in humid weather and less in the dry winter months), if will alter the weight of the flour. You have to go by the "feel" of the dough rather than an exact measurement. Each bag of flour will also vary in protein/gluten content, as well as moisture. The higher the protein level in the flour, the more hydration it will absorb. Protein content of flour can't be weighed with a scale. -Grainlady...See MoreWhat's for dinner Sunday?
Comments (15)Mary, good luck tomorrow. Sorry about the rain. Sure hate driving in it and I don't like anyone else having to either. Both your dinners sound good tonight. Sue, leftover meatloaf is the best! Isn't it nice not to have to think about dinner some nights? Glenda, sorry you had an awful lunch. Hope you let the manager know you weren't happy. Fat lot of good it would do, except venting is good for the soul sometimes!! Morz, those dang chipmunks. We don't have them here but we did in the mountains and they are nasty little things. At first I thought they were so cute, until they found a way in our camper. Not so funny and cute, then. You had great intentions for the roast, but I bet those guys will be plenty happy with the pizza. Terri, if anyone deserves a day out of the kitchen, it's you. I have your recipe for General Tso chicken but I haven't made it yet. I know it'll be good when I get to it. Enjoy your pretty afternoon as long as possible! Kittiemom, that's a lot of shopping. I'd need an easy dinner, too. Especially one that sounds so good. I do love eating out, but not especially on weekends anymore when every restaurant is so crowded. Of course, this being a retirement area, most people go eat at 4:30 or 5!! lol! Tami, sounds like you've had a great weekend and still came up with a good dinner. When's your next big trip?...See MoreBluestar Platinum Range Top
Comments (6)I put it on the right side with the 15k and 18k, those are fairly close and don't really affect it, now if I put it in the center then I could imagine that it would be a lot worse because of the 15k and 25k being 10k BTU's apart. I also have a large 1,200 CFM inline blower which keeps the smoke from getting into the house when I use the grill, if it was a smaller blower then you would probably want it in the center. At some point down the road I might change out the 15k orifice for an 18k since the burner is the same....See MoreSunday Breakfast Time
Comments (9)pudgeder and gardengal, you are so right. This is the same place I mentioned a while back that makes their jalapeno poppers in house. They have a man in the kitchen and all I've ever seen him do is remove the seeds from the peppers. He tosses the peppers into a bucket and when it's full, they prep a batch of poppers, but they don't put them into the fryer until an order is placed. Yum!...See More- 7 years ago
