Weighing mayonnaise

live4turns

The label on the mayonnaise I use (Kirkland Signature Real Mayonnaise) measures servings only in mL or Tbsp. I usually measure in mL by putting the mayo in a measuring cup and then hitting the cup onto the counter to let it settle and flatten out for a measurement read. I try to make the mayo settle as much as I can so I can get as accurate a measurement as possible but I want more accuracy. Mayo contains lots of calories and inaccurate measures can make a big difference.


Is there another way to weigh mayo?

Are there any brands that use grams/ounces as units on their label?

Thanks

Put your mayo in the tbsp, then use the flat edge of a knife to level it off so you know there is no overflow. :-)

To weigh mayonnaise, weigh the jar or bread before and after spreading it and subtract.

Well since you now have the grams to work with, you can eliminate that math by putting your spoon on the scale, zero out the scale and then scoop your mayo out of e jar and put the spoon + mayo on the scale. The number shown would be the amount of mayo on e spoon since you zeroed out the scale with the spoon on it. This is how I measure my peanut butter.
