things people ask

• When would anyone actually measure yeast extract by the cup?
  Bulk catering and food manufacturing, mostly. Commercial bakeries use yeast extract as a flavor base in savory breads, crackers, and stock concentrates, and a recipe scaled to 50 loaves might call for a cup or more. Outside that, cup-level quantities are rare — a standard 250 g jar is just under a cup, and most households work through one over many months.
• How do I scale a teaspoon-sized recipe up to a cup-based commercial batch?
  Use the gram weight rather than counting spoons. One cup is roughly 288 g, one tablespoon roughly 18 g, and one teaspoon roughly 6 g, so a cup is about 48 teaspoons by weight. When scaling, also reconsider the salt load — yeast extract is intensely salty, and what reads as a background savory note at teaspoon scale becomes the dominant seasoning at cup scale.
• Does the brand change the cup weight much?
  Marmite, Vegemite, Cenovis, and supermarket equivalents all sit in a similar viscosity and density range, so 288 g per cup is a reasonable working figure across the category. Vegemite tends to be slightly stiffer and Marmite slightly looser, but the difference at cup scale is small — within the margin you'd lose to the spread clinging to the measuring cup walls anyway.
