Frozen Corn
Frozen corn kernels weigh 165g per cup — about the same as fresh corn shucked from one large ear. Frozen at peak ripeness, it's often sweeter than off-season fresh corn. Add directly to hot pans without thawing — they steam through in 2-3 minutes and the residual ice prevents burning. For corn salads, blanch frozen kernels in boiling water for 1 minute then shock in ice water to refresh the texture. Substitutes for fresh corn 1:1 in chowders, fritters, and salsas.

03 // WHY IT MATTERS
If your cookies spread, your bread is gummy, or your cake sinks — flour weight is usually why.
A scooped cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 125g to 180g. That's a 44% range — enough to wreck a cake.
Modern recipes use the spoon-and-level method: fluff the flour, spoon it into a dry measuring cup without packing, then sweep flat with a knife.
The scoop method — pushing the cup directly into the bag — packs in 40-50% more flour.
