Why Weigh Sesame Oil in Grams?
When a recipe calls for ⅓ cups of sesame oil, using a kitchen scale to measure exactly 73 grams will give you far more consistent results than volume measurement alone. This is because sesame oil can be packed, sifted, or scooped differently each time, leading to weight variations of up to 20%.
How to Measure Sesame Oil by Weight
Place your mixing bowl on a digital kitchen scale and press "tare" to zero it out. Then add sesame oil until the scale reads 73g. This method is faster than measuring cups and eliminates the guesswork entirely.
Also Known As
Sesame Oil is sometimes referred to as toasted sesame oil. The same conversion of 218g per cup applies regardless of the name used.
