FAQ
- Does how I hold the tablespoon of Orange soda (sweetened with sugar) affect the weight?
- Barely — watery liquids fill the spoon flush regardless of angle. Expect repeatability within 0.3 g per level fill.
- Can I substitute Orange soda (sweetened with sugar) with plain water in these gram values?
- For density purposes yes — both are near 1 g/mL, so the cup/tbsp-to-gram conversion barely changes. Flavor and recipe chemistry are a separate question.
