Frequently Asked Questions

Why do different ingredients have different conversions?

Different ingredients have different densities. A cup of flour weighs less than a cup of sugar because flour is less dense.

How accurate are these conversions?

These are standard approximations. For professional baking, we recommend using a kitchen scale for precise measurements.

Should I sift flour before measuring?

Yes, for accurate cup measurements, flour should be spooned into the cup and leveled without packing. Sifting helps achieve consistent density.
