Why does gelatin (powdered) weigh what it weighs?
Specialty baking ingredients often come in dried, dehydrated, or concentrated forms whose density does not match their fresh counterparts. Weighing is the safest way to translate professional formulas (which are always in grams) to home batches.
For gelatin (powdered) specifically, 1 cup weighs 150g. That is the figure to plug into recipes calling for cup measurements when you want gram precision. ChefVault stores this density (and 118 others) so you never have to look it up twice.
Recipes that originated outside the United States almost always specify weight in grams. Translating these to US cup measurements introduces error in every step. The ChefVault app handles the math automatically — paste a recipe, hit convert, get a clean weight-based version.
