FAQ
- Should I measure Black beans, dry hot or at room temperature?
- Room temperature. Hot pieces expel steam and settle, which changes cup volume; let them cool for consistent readings.
- Can I use frozen Black beans, dry with the same gram values?
- Once fully thawed and drained, yes — freezing doesn't change mass. Don't weigh while still icy; ice trapped between pieces adds 5–10 % to the reading.
