FAQ
- Should I measure Kidney 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 the Kidney beans, dry cooking liquid as part of the measurement?
- Only if the recipe asks for it (e.g. aquafaba). Otherwise, drain thoroughly: cooking liquid adds variable weight and distorts the reading.
