Grapeseed Oil
Grapeseed oil weighs 218g per cup. A byproduct of winemaking with a very light, neutral flavor and high smoke point (216°C / 420°F), making it ideal for stir-frying and high-heat sautéing where you don't want oil flavor. High in polyunsaturated fats (omega-6) — best stored in the refrigerator after opening to slow oxidation. Often the base for infused oils (garlic, herb) because it lets other flavors shine. Substitute 1:1 for any neutral oil.

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.
