Thread: Measuring At Bulk Barn
-
Thu, Jul 12th, 2012, 08:17 PM #1
I was wondering if anyone knew how much the scoop (the big ones) at bulk barn equaled to, in cups. I need to do a recipe, and need between 2 and 3 cups of everything. It'd be really helpful if the scoop equaled 1.5 or 2 cups.. but one can only wish, eh?
I need to know by tomorrow morning...This thread is currently associated with: Bulk BarnPreviously CanadianBella... I'm baaack!

I think one of the scoops is 2 cups. I can't remember for sure. Just ask when you go in to be sure.

Just bring a measuring cup with you to bulk barn. People do this all the time, they don't mind and this way you can purchase only what you need.

You can also check out the weight of the dry goods you'll need and just weigh the product on the scales to make sure you've got enough. This is what I do when I know I need just a bit of something
I have a little chart that sits inside my cupboard (don't remember where I got it), but here's a similar guide online

What are you baking?

I wish we had a bulk food store in our small town.

I guess we're lucky here...I've never witnessed anyone using their hands or sneaking snacks out of the bins. And there are enough staff around that I don't think they could be sneayk about it. And it's immaculately clean there.
As for using a measuring cup...
THANK YOU for clearing that up by saying you put a bag into it first!
Our grandson has a peanut allergy and the thought that someone may measure peanuts before anything
else nearly set me catatonic for a minute there!! Good idea, btw! ...with the bag!

I never put my cup into a bin, thats just not right. I take the scoop and fill my cup up with that, the cup of coarse in over my bag, when the bits start falling out of my cup and into my bag, I know I have the sufficient amount. I can't purchase anything for myself there due to my celiac disease, but I often get things for my family.
