Measuring grated parmesan accurately

Parmesan is one of the hardest ingredients to measure by cup, because the weight swings with how it's grated. Grated fine on a microplane it's fluffy and airy, so a cup weighs far less than the same cheese coarsely shredded or the dense, powdery pre-grated kind from a tub. That's why "one cup" of parmesan can mean very different amounts of actual cheese. For cooking, where a little extra only makes things better, the cup is fine; for baking or precise recipes, weigh it to the figure above. Store a wedge and grate it fresh when you can — pre-grated cheese is coated with anti-caking agents that stop it melting smoothly into sauces.

Finely grated; fluffier than shredded. Because a cup measures volume rather than weight, the most reliable way to get the same result every time is to weigh grated parmesan on a kitchen scale and aim for the gram figure above. The conversions on this page are based on the US cup of about 236.6 ml.
