FAQ
- How do I get a level cup of sticky Tahini?
- Stir to collapse trapped air pockets, then scoop and scrape the surface flush with a knife. Do not just tap — tap alone leaves voids.
- Can I substitute Tahini 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.
