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.
Do thickness or air pockets change the result for Sour Cream?
Sour Cream keeps one reference basis here, but thickness, trapped air, and how compactly it fills the cup can shift practical density.
