Olive oil: ¿cuántos gramos en una cucharada?
El aceite de oliva es oro líquido, pero es más ligero que el agua. Medirlo por volumen es sucio e inexacto porque el aceite se adhiere a la taza. Pesarlo es la única forma de garantizar la precisión y evitar tener que lavar cucharas grasientas.

Preguntas frecuentes
- Can I fry with Extra Virgin Olive Oil (EVOO)?
- Yes, but be careful. EVOO has a lower smoke point (~375°F/190°C) than refined oils. It's great for sautéing, but for deep frying at high heat, refined olive oil or vegetable oil is safer and more neutral.
- Why weighs oil instead of using a spoon?
- Viscosity. Oils form a curved surface (meniscus) making eye-level reading hard, and they coat the measuring spoon, meaning you often add less than the recipe calls for. Weight is absolute.
