Okay, so I had this baking project in mind, and the recipe called for 24 ounces of chocolate chips. Now, I usually measure my chocolate chips in cups, so I was like, “Wait, how many cups is that?” I didn’t want to mess up the recipe, you know? Baking fails are the worst!
Figuring Out the Conversion
First, I did a quick search. I mean, who doesn’t, right? It is not reliable method. So I grabbed a kitchen scale, and an empty cup. I use scale to measure things frequently. It’s pretty easy.
- I zeroed out the scale with cup on it.
- Then I started filling it with chocolate chips, checking the weight as I went.
I found a full cup, and I check scale and found it is about 8 ounces. I was very close to success.
Doing the Math
So, with 24 ounces needed, and knowing that every 8 ounces equaled roughly one cup, I just did some quick division: 24 divided by 8. Boom! 3 cups.
It’s mean I need get 3 cups of chocolate chips for my recipe. I felt pretty accomplished, to be honest. It’s the little things, right? No more guessing games with my baking!
