The Zero Button That Makes Flour Easier to Measure
Food
A cup of flour can weigh different amounts depending on how tightly it’s packed. If a recipe provides grams, use its gram weight to keep the flour quantity consistent.
Put the empty bowl on the kitchen scale and press tare. Once the display reads zero, add flour until it reaches the recipe’s weight. You’ve subtracted the bowl without doing any arithmetic.
Use the recipe author’s stated conversion when a recipe provides one. King Arthur’s recipes use 120 grams for a cup of all-purpose flour, but recipes developed elsewhere may use a different convention.
