When measuring dry ingredients, do you use the same
measurements as liquids? The recipe calls for 6 oz of flat
noodles. I put it in the measuring cup at 6 oz and it sure
did not seem like enough and it wasn't. Had to cook up
some more.

NO. The 6 oz. on a measuring cup means liquid ounces. The 6
oz. on the pasta package refers to avoirdupois ounces--or
weight. Refer to pasta package to figure out how much of it
weighs 6 oz. Nancree -

Measuring cups measure volume (like bra cups), use a
scale to measure weight (like my avoirdupois hands)...
using my noodle!Ahahahahahahaha. . . .

don't have a scale... find one of those plastic pasta
measuring thingies and correlate it to your fingers.Cost of on "hand" pasta measurer: zero.

No, Weigh the pasta on a kitchen scale.Rodney Myrvaagnes J36 Gjo/a

No, Weigh the pasta on a kitchen scale.Much easier and cheaper to visually divide the box. If
you're using a 16 oz box of say, linguine, just take a third
+a smidge.Best,

lot of help. BUTT, when I cook pasta I always use the BIG
pot full of water. I'm not sure of the volume of the pot but
I think it's 6-8 quarts. When I make soup in it I can feed
the neighbors for a week 😉Michael <- feeding a very sick neighbor right now

I ALWAYS add too many noodles.
The measured amount always looks so lonesome and pitifully
inadequate trying to cover the bottom of the pot.....I seem to have two measures when it comes to noodles; "Not
nearly enough" and "Way too many"<rj>
