Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this use a US cup?

Yes. The factor is tied to the US cup definition (236.588 mL), not a metric cup.

Does packing change the result for Dark Brown Sugar?

Dark Brown Sugar keeps one firmly packed reference basis here, but moisture and packing pressure can change cup or spoon weight a lot. Keep the packing style consistent if you want repeatable baking results.
