FAQ
- Can I convert canned drained Red lentils, dry 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 use the Red lentils, 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.
