Dairy specifics
Dairy products (milk, cream, yogurt, cheese) have different fat and water percentages. Volume hides these differences; weight keeps sauces, batters, and doughs consistent.
- Fat content shifts density; pick the correct milk/cream/fat level if variants exist.
- For cheese, shredded vs grated vs cubed changes volume—prefer grams.
Does fat percentage matter?Yes. A cup of heavy cream is heavier than milk; swapping without weight alters richness and texture.
Storage & tools
- Store in a cool, dry pantry (under 21 °C / 70 °F) away from direct sunlight.
- Use airtight containers to keep humidity out — dry ingredients gain 1–2 % mass in humid air.
- Rotate stock: first in, first out, even when the product looks unchanged.
- Check best-by dates; potency can fade before the product looks old.
Store airtight and dry; refrigerate or freeze for long storage to prevent off flavors.
