Walnut Oil
Walnut oil weighs 218g per cup. A finishing oil — its delicate, nutty flavor breaks down above 160°C (320°F), so never use it for sautéing or roasting. Drizzle on salads, roasted root vegetables, pasta, or warm goat cheese. Pairs especially well with pears, apples, and blue cheese. Refrigerate after opening; the omega-3 fats go rancid within 3 months at room temperature. Substitute with toasted sesame oil for similar finishing-oil use with a different flavor profile.

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.
