Canned beans in recipes: net or drained weight?
I think this is easily answerable through the internet, but I can't seem to find the right keywords. Anyway, I'm trying to follow a chili recipe which calls for a 410g can of red kidney beans. I have the ingredients, but I only realized now that I'm uncertain whether the 410g refers to the whole can or when drained. If it was just "410g red kidney beans" then I would assume to use the drained weight, but the recipe says "410g can of red kidney beans"
Would love clarification on this. Thank you!
