converting grams is a problem, i dont weigh materials of food i measure if necc, is there a simple formula for converting grams to us measurements.. do you brine all meat or just the toughter ones
Jessica Gavin says
Hi David- Great question! 30g grams is about 1 ounce, which is 2 tablespoons (1/8 cup). So you can use some general US volume conversions. However, this all depends on if it is liquid or solid. The mass of solids varies so that’s why it’s tricky to measure flour accurately in a cup vs on a scale. You can brine any type of meat.

Jessica, thanks for all the good information. With the growth of Sous Vide style cooking it would be very helpful to see for charts / graphs of temp vs. time to kill pathogens in meat. For example, once a given meat has reached 140 degrees it takes how long to pasteurize that meat? How long once the meat has reached 150 degrees? Etc.——Thanks!
Jessica Gavin says
Thank you for the suggestion Robert! I will definitely keep cooking temps for sous vide in consideration for a future post 🙂
