Measure it out the hard way once and note the weight. I do that every time I have a recipe using cups just to make my life easier. Once the recipe is properly noted, I can just put a bowl on the scale and hit the tare button after each step.
Comment on Why do Americans measure everything in cups?
KrankyKong@lemmy.world 7 months agoHow do you convert cups to weight accurately when a cup of one thing might weigh more than a cup of a different thing?

Is there a separate conversion chart for every food out there? Seems confusing.

I just yell “okay Google how much does a cup of peanut butter weigh” if Google doesn’t get me a good answer usually my husband will run in yelling the conversions he googled so I will stop yelling at the spy-assistant bot. I have encountered few ingredients that I couldn’t find a weight conversion for.

Why a chart? Just throw the stuff you wanna know in wolfram alpha, it’ll figure out the units for yoh
