FAQ

Why is grams-to-cups approximate for Popcorn, air-popped?
Because density is heterogeneous — a cup's contents drift with packing. The table uses a loose, unpacked measure, so real cups may read slightly smaller.
What error margin should I expect on Popcorn, air-popped measurements?
About ±10 % for volume measures, ±1 % for scale measures. Recipes robust to ±10 % work from either; tight bakes need the scale.
