Frequently Asked Questions

When should I compare two ingredients?

When substituting: granulated vs brown sugar, butter vs margarine, milk vs coconut milk. Match similar densities for similar texture in the final dish.

Does similar density mean 1:1 substitute?

Similar density means similar volume-to-weight ratio, so volumetric measurements transfer cleanly. But flavor, moisture content, and chemistry (e.g., sugar vs honey) can still differ — always check recipe-fit.

What density tolerance is safe for 1:1 substitution?

≤10% difference: usually safe. 10-25%: may need a small amount adjustment. >25%: rebalance the recipe.
