About Ricotta Cheese
Fill with a spoon, close large gaps gently and level without squeezing out liquid. If the recipe specifies drained ricotta, drain first and measure that prepared ricotta; moisture loss changes the amount.
Ricotta varies in wetness and curd size. A filling that requires draining still needs that step even when you weigh the cheese; matching grams does not remove surplus whey.
Tips for measuring Ricotta Cheese
- Follow any draining instruction before measuring.
- Scrape the cup clean when transferring.
Common mistakes
- Using undrained ricotta when the recipe specifies drained cheese.
