Peanut Oil
Peanut oil weighs 217g per cup. Refined peanut oil is highly heat-stable (smoke point ~232°C / 450°F) and the traditional choice for deep-frying — especially Chinese and Thai dishes where the subtle nutty flavor complements stir-fries. Unrefined cold-pressed peanut oil tastes strongly of peanuts and should be used as a finishing oil, not for high heat. Most refined peanut oil is allergen-safe, but cold-pressed versions can trigger peanut allergies.

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.
