Okay, so I wanted to figure out exactly what “heavy whipping cream” meant in terms of weight. You know, like, how much does a cup actually weigh? I always see it in recipes, and I got curious.
My Heavy Whipping Cream Experiment
First, I grabbed a carton of heavy whipping cream from the fridge. Gotta start with the goods, right?
Then, I got out my trusty kitchen scale. This thing is a lifesaver when I’m baking, and I figured it would be perfect for this little experiment.
Next, I found a measuring cup – the standard, one-cup size. I made sure it was clean and dry, because, you know, science!
- Step 1: I zeroed out the scale with the empty measuring cup on it. This is important to get an accurate weight of just the cream.
- Step 2: I carefully poured the heavy whipping cream into the cup, making sure to fill it right to the one-cup line.
- Step 3: I looked at number on the scale.
And there it was! My cup of heavy whipping cream weighed in at around 240 grams, give or take a * is pretty close to what some packages list! I feel so smart figuring this out. I was using grams, but you can easily convert that to ounces if you need to.
So, there you have it! That’s how I figured out the weight of a cup of heavy whipping cream. A simple little kitchen experiment, but now I know!
