FAQ

Can I convert canned drained Lima beans, 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 Lima 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.
