Why accurate measurements matter in air fryer cooking

Air fryers rely on precise ingredient quantities to achieve even cooking and perfect textures. Using 0.75 cup of sunflower seeds without converting to ounces could lead to uneven roasting or overly dense recipes. Sunflower seeds are a popular addition to air-fried granola, salads, or as a crunchy topping. If you're meal prepping, knowing the exact weight ensures consistency across batches. Visit our recipe collection for inspiration on using sunflower seeds in your air fryer.

Measuring by weight (ounces) is more reliable than volume (cups) because seeds can settle or vary in density. A kitchen scale is the best tool for accuracy, especially when working with small quantities like 0.75 cup. For those without scales, our conversion guide helps bridge the gap. Remember, slight variations can affect cooking times, so precision matters.

How to measure 0.75 cup of sunflower seeds without a scale

If you don’t have a kitchen scale, use the spoon-and-level method for measuring sunflower seeds. Gently spoon the seeds into a measuring cup until slightly heaped, then level off the excess with a straight edge. This method minimises compaction and gives a close approximation of 3.75 oz for 0.75 cup. For best results, consider investing in a digital scale—it’s a game-changer for air fryer cooking.
