help - Eat Smart Morrisons Spray Cream

Milliliters is a volume measurement, not weight, that's why it's off.

My best example for this is mini marshmallows. Say a recipe calls for one cup (8 oz by volume) of mini marshmallows. If you measure out one cup of mini marshmallows, you'll have used approximately 1/5 of the bag.

But say you were to use that 8 oz "conversion" as a weight instead and you weigh out 8 oz of mini marshmallows. You will have used approximately 4/5 of that same bag of marshmallows.

So it's always important that you're using the proper method of measuring for serving sizes.

It does sound low, but then you never know! - It is from the eat smart range.

You could always get a measuring jug that does smaller increments such as every 5 or 10ml, and measure it that way, can't go wrong with that :-)

I've never seen a scale with ml on it. But if it specifically says "ml water" then it's likely been calibrated to convert water weight to accurate ml. But since water is one specific density and weight, you wouldn't be able to use it for other items. Your whipped cream is much lighter, so you're getting more than you should. If you were to use it for something like a pure maple syrup, that is denser and heavier than water, you'd get less.

You should be using a volume based measuring for the whipped cream. Either measuring cups or measuring spoons. Unless your can label specifically has a weight measurement on it as well, in which case, set your scale to that unit of measure and weigh it that way.
