FAQ
- Can I convert canned drained Lentils, cooked with this table?
- Yes, if pieces are at room temperature and freshly drained. Still-warm cans hold more steam in the cup, shifting volume.
- Can I swap Lentils, cooked for another cooked grain/legume at the same gram weight?
- Mass equivalence works; hydration ratio and texture vary. Cooked quinoa, lentils and rice absorb different amounts of liquid per gram — taste-test when you swap.
