Sesame Oil
Sesame oil weighs 218g per cup. Toasted sesame oil has an intense, nutty aroma and is used as a finishing oil, not for high-heat cooking — it burns easily. Light (untoasted) sesame oil has a milder flavor and higher smoke point. In Asian recipes, sesame oil is usually measured in teaspoons or tablespoons, rarely cups. A little goes a long way. Store in the refrigerator after opening to prevent rancidity. It keeps for about six months.

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.
