Why Weigh Evaporated Milk in Grams?
When a recipe calls for 2½ cups of evaporated milk, using a kitchen scale to measure exactly 630 grams will give you far more consistent results than volume measurement alone. This is because evaporated milk can be packed, sifted, or scooped differently each time, leading to weight variations of up to 20%.
How to Measure Evaporated Milk by Weight
Place your mixing bowl on a digital kitchen scale and press "tare" to zero it out. Then add evaporated milk until the scale reads 630g. This method is faster than measuring cups and eliminates the guesswork entirely.
