FAQ
- Does room-temperature Tahini measure cleaner than cold?
- Yes — warmer Tahini flows into corners of the measure, fills gaps, and scrapes flush. Cold products cling and leave voids that understate the weight.
- Can I substitute Tahini with a thinner spread 1:1 by weight?
- The gram count works but rheology differs — a thinner spread flows into gaps you scraped flat, so downstream mixing or layering may behave differently.
