FAQ
- Does warming Italian dressing before measuring help?
- Slightly — warmer Italian dressing flows into corners and fills air gaps, reducing measurement error. Avoid heating past the recipe's temperature guidance.
- Can I substitute Italian dressing with a thinner spread 1:1 by weight?
- The gram count works but rheology differs — a thinner spread flows into gaps you scraped flat, so downstream mixing or layering may behave differently.
