Condiments

Viscous condiments like ketchup, BBQ sauce, or dips tend to cling stubbornly to measuring cups. This leads to waste and messy cleanup. Weighing directly into your dish or pan is the professional, clean, and accurate method.

How do I measure sticky sauces without the mess?Place your bowl on the scale, press 'Tare' (Zero), and squeeze/pour the sauce directly until you hit the target gram weight. No measuring spoons to wash!

FAQ

Why is fat-free Thousand Island denser than the regular version?: Removing oil (which is lighter than water at about 0.92 g/ml) and replacing it with sugar-based thickeners and water raises the overall density to 1.082 g/ml, so the fat-free version actually weighs more per cup than the original.
How much does one cup of fat-free Thousand Island dressing weigh?: At 1.082 g/ml, one US cup (237 ml) weighs approximately 256 grams, which is about 19 grams heavier than a cup of water due to the dissolved sugars, tomato solids, and relish particles.
Can I use fat-free Thousand Island as a direct weight substitute for regular Thousand Island?: The density difference means the fat-free version at 1.082 g/ml is heavier per cup than oil-containing versions, so measuring by weight rather than volume ensures accurate recipe results when substituting.
