How to Measure Dry Lentils Accurately

To measure dry lentils accurately, fill a dry measuring cup and level the top without shaking the cup. Shaking settles the pieces and adds weight.

  1. 1

    Fill a dry measuring cup

    Pour or spoon the dry lentils into a dry measuring cup or spoon until it overflows.

  2. 2

    Keep the cup still

    Do not tap or shake the cup. Shaking settles the pieces into the gaps and adds weight.

  3. 3

    Level the top

    Sweep a straight edge across the rim to remove the excess.

  4. 4

    Weigh it for an exact amount

    Set a bowl on a kitchen scale, press tare, and add dry lentils until the scale shows the gram amount in the recipe.
