FAQ
- Do I fill to the brim or to the measurement line?
- Fill to the line and read at eye level where the meniscus bottoms out. Filling to the brim overshoots the cup by 3–5 %.
- Can I substitute Soft drink, lucozade type with plain water in these gram values?
- For density purposes yes — both are near 1 g/mL, so the cup/tbsp-to-gram conversion barely changes. Flavor and recipe chemistry are a separate question.
