Re: Question on cheese amount
It is very confusing; and I try to catch myself when I write a recipe. 1/2 cup which is most used vs oz when using cheeses which are common in many recipes. It is very hard to get used to that. But it is very important to watch and be careful when making a new recipe.
I for one have read it wrong and screwed up with too much or too little ... and I'm sure others have too. Just read the recipe carefully.
A google search if you do ...
"8 oz block cheese equals how many cups"
It will come up right and there are many good sites with equivalents.
Cooking as long as I have ... I still check that when I'm not sure, or just won't to verify something. Nothing wrong with that.

Re: Question on cheese amount
Yep - I always have to look over a recipe carefully and make sure the person who wrote the recipe was clear about the measurements. It is very easy to be mistaken. I think it is the biggest reason many people have trouble baking, since it makes a bigger difference if you don't have the measurements right. Regular cooking recipes are far more forgiving.Kchurchill5 wrote:It is very confusing; and I try to catch myself when I write a recipe. 1/2 cup which is most used vs oz when using cheeses which are common in many recipes.

Re: Question on cheese amount
Again, glad to help. I have cooked for years and ask questions all the time; but most importantly, learn something new all the time.
