Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does temperature or physical state change the result for Butter (Salted)?

Butter (Salted) keeps one liquid-state reference basis here, but the result assumes the ingredient is melted or fully liquid when measured. Solid pieces, scooped chunks, or semi-solid fills do not behave the same way in a cup.
