FAQ
- Should I measure Pinto beans, dry hot or at room temperature?
- Room temperature. Hot pieces expel steam and settle, which changes cup volume; let them cool for consistent readings.
- Can I swap Pinto beans, dry 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.
