Volume measurements can drift because settling, packing, and texture change the amount of ingredient inside the same spoon or cup. When gram values look surprising, structure is usually the reason rather than an error. Use the same fill method each time and verify by weight.
Chef note:Chef-level consistency starts when one reference cup is matched to a gram baseline.

FAQ
- How much does a cup of blue cheese dressing weigh?
- At 1.036 g/ml, one US cup (237 ml) of commercial blue cheese dressing weighs approximately 246 grams, slightly above water due to the suspended cheese solids and stabilizers in the emulsion.
- Does blue cheese dressing measure consistently by volume given its cheese chunks?
- The cheese crumbles can create air pockets that vary the weight per cup slightly, but at an average density of 1.036 g/ml, stirring before measuring gives a reliable result of about 246 grams per cup.
- Why is blue cheese dressing only slightly denser than water despite containing cheese?
- The soybean oil and buttermilk base are lighter than water, and they largely offset the heavier cheese solids and stabilizers, resulting in a net density of just 1.036 g/ml for the finished emulsion.
