I'd trust KA. Or else follow a recipe that uses grams and weigh your flour. Weighing's a bit more precise until you get a feel for it. |

Those gram quantities are weights. > This equivalence will change depending on the ingredient. True. And as Cindy pointed out here a few weeks ago, even the same substance (the example was salt) can have a different effective mass density depending on the size of the crystals. The effective mass density of course depends primarily on the intrinsic mass density of the particular substance involved, as you said above. But it also depends on the shape of the particles AND on the size (& shape) distributions as well, because of how the pieces fit together when left to chaotic positioning. (Yeah sure, in theory for salt it would be perfect if the grains could be packed in perfectly cubic arrays.) Salt is actually a bad example, because the particles are crystals of uniform size and shape (cubes). Nonetheless, there is enough variance to yield a measurable effective difference in mass density between 'kosher' and 'table' salt, due empirically to grain size. |

Look for a copy of "The Baker's Manual" by Amendola and Rees. They give conversion tables for every baking ingredient under the sun. For example: If you spoon flour into an American standard cup (236ml) and then level off, the weights for these flours are as follows- AP 4.25oz Bread 4.75oz WW 4.5oz Cake 4oz However, a few months ago I weighed cups of flour and the results were posted on the bread group. Here is that post: "I've just made a couple of kg of bread dough from a newly opened bag of flour. I used a 250ml measuring cup as a handy scoop to put the flour into a bowl on the scale and was astounded when it weighed 175g. A lot of US recipes use a 4oz/114g equivalence but as many devotees of weighing will attest, it all depends on how you fill the cup. That 175g measure equates to 168g for a 236ml US cup. I then used a whisk to stir up the flour in the bag and spooned the flour to fill the cup. That weighed 134g (126g US). No wonder my elderly neighbour complained that she couldn't make decent pastry as she used volume measure." |

Are you saying that's not true? What the heck are you saying? As far as I know, _I've_ never eaten boiled peanuts. Roasted in an oven, yes, boiled, no. But I have heard of them long before this thread. |

Oh, and my Foodsaver is from a thrift store for $5. It's missing one element (there's about 30 per inch), so I just seal, move it a cunt hair left or right, then seal again. I usually seal twice anyway. -sw |

Do you see me calling the bone in ribs fresh? My comment: Don and I will defrost the pork ribs. Now Steve 'assumes' we got them as fresh and froze them: The pork ribs are already fresh - you just bought them. We bought them frozen. Only the 'Country pork ribs' (boneless bought in a family pack) were 'fresh' and repackaged then vacumn sealed for the freezer. |
