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 crystal size or packing change the result for Granulated Sugar?
Granulated Sugar keeps one reference basis here, but crystal size, moisture, and caking can shift how much fits in a spoon or cup. That matters more with sugars and sweeteners than with a purely liquid measure.
