FAQ
- Does how I chop Parmesan cheese, grated change the cup weight?
- Yes — finely diced packs tighter and weighs more per cup than a rough chop. The table uses a standard medium cut.
- Does Parmesan cheese, grated lose weight sitting in the fridge?
- Yes — cell water evaporates slowly, especially on cut surfaces. Expect 1–3 % mass loss per day uncovered; store in a sealed container to keep the table values accurate.
