Measuring Tip
Mayonnaise should be spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off. Do not scoop directly from the jar, which traps air and gives an inconsistent amount.
Understanding the Units
What is a Pound?
A pound (lb) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 453.592 grams or 16 ounces. It is used for larger quantities of ingredients like flour, sugar, and meat.
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
