To weigh condensed milk accurately, start by placing a clean kitchen scale on a flat surface. Place the empty container you plan to use for the condensed milk on the scale and zero it out (tare it). Pour the condensed milk into the container until you reach the desired weight. Note the weight displayed, which is the weight of the condensed milk alone. This method ensures you get an accurate measurement without including the weight of the container.

FAQs & Answers

  1. What is the best way to measure liquid ingredients? To measure liquid ingredients like condensed milk, use a clean kitchen scale or measuring cup. For precise measurements, a kitchen scale is recommended as it allows you to tare the container before adding the liquid.
  2. Can I use any type of scale to weigh condensed milk? Yes, you can use any kitchen scale, but ensure it is set to grams or ounces for more accurate readings when weighing condensed milk.
  3. Why is it important to tare the scale before measuring? Taring the scale removes the weight of the container, allowing you to measure only the weight of the condensed milk. This ensures accuracy in your recipe.
  4. How do I store leftover condensed milk after weighing? Seal the leftover condensed milk in an airtight container and refrigerate it. It can typically last for up to two weeks in the fridge.
