    I'm making a  bread that calls for 4oz of cheddar cheese and 2 oz of parmesan cheese. Would anyone know how many tablespoons that would be.

    Here are the equivalents:

    4 ounces = 1 cup shredded cheese

    2 ounces = 1/2 cup shredded cheese

    4 ounces of shredded cheddar cheese will equal 1 cup of cheese. See the explanation below from the Sargento website .  

      

    Q. Your package is labeled as containing 8 ounces of cheese and says that's 2 cups. I thought 8 ounces equals 1 cup?

    Sargento packages our products by weight, not by volume. A package labeled as 8 ounces weighs 8 ounces. We also give the corresponding cup (volumetric) measurement for ease in recipe use. A package of shredded cheese that weighs 8 ounces fills a 2 cup measuring cup. Although there are 8 ounces in a liquid cup measure, 8 ounces in weight will not always yield the same cup measure. Eight ounces of shredded cheese equals 2 cups; four ounces of shredded cheese equals 1 cup.

    2 oz grated parm = just over 1/2 cup (.57 cup)

    This makes me want to ask:

    How many out of 100 people on "Recipes" have a small scale in their kitchen?

    Just curious
