FAQ
- Does room-temperature Pesto measure cleaner than cold?
- Yes — warmer Pesto flows into corners of the measure, fills gaps, and scrapes flush. Cold products cling and leave voids that understate the weight.
- What if oil has separated from Pesto in the jar?
- Stir it back in before measuring. The total jar mass hasn't changed, but separation would bias any volume measure — scoop after a full stir to match the table.
