Hi, Frank. Thanks for your response to my question. Do you mean 2 cups = 8 ounces? I appreciate the possible variation in the volume/weight conversion in shredded zucchini. I wonder whether I should include any liquid resultant from the grating as part of the total weight. Or should I actually give the shredded zucchini a gentle squeeze before measurement? This would influence the overall flour/liquid ratio in the recipe, would it? Yes, I am one of those home cooks who study a new recipe carefully before venturing into the kitchen. An old habit. Anne, here's the way I measure zucchini - I grate it in my food processor, and immediately spoon it into a measuring cup, just patting it down VERY gently, then leveling off. I never get any liquid, so I don't need to squeeze it. I've stopped weighing zucchini, since it varies so wildly - I measure this particular ingredient strictly by volume, and it seems to work just fine... Hope this helps - PJH
