Suggerimenti
- Sift flour before measuring to prevent it from compacting in the bowl.
- Butter from America is often measured in cups when it's soft: at room temperature it's more precise.
- Use a digital scale when accuracy is critical (e.g., sugar-raised sweets, Spanish cake).

What's an American cup?
A US cup is an unit of measurement equal to 236.6 ml. It's commonly used in Anglo-Saxon and American recipes. Does not correspond to the Italian standard cup.
Why does conversion depend on the ingredient?
Different ingredients have varying densities. 1 cup of flour weighs about 125g, while 1 cup of honey weighs about 340g. The same volume results in vastly different masses.
How are spoons and teaspoons measured?
A tablespoon is approximately 14.3g and a teaspoon is approximately 4.8g. These values are approximate average weights used in international recipes.
Are values precise?
Values are good approximations. Real density can vary based on ingredient quality, moisture, and how the cup was filled (sifted or compressed).
