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.
