Why measuring pecan halves by cup goes wrong
Pecan halves run 99 g/cup, almost identical to walnut halves, because they're similarly shaped and similarly hollow. Pecan pieces — broken halves and small chunks sold by the bag — pack to about 117 g/cup.
Practical tips for working with pecan halves
Toasted pecans are a different ingredient than raw ones. Six to eight minutes at 350 °F transforms the flavor: oily and bland becomes warm, buttery, and faintly toasted. Untoasted pecans on top of a pecan pie go soggy in the filling within hours. Toast them first, even though the pie also goes into a hot oven — by the time the filling sets, surface-toasted pecans are perfect.
Note from this ingredient's record: Toast at 350 °F for 6–8 minutes before folding into anything baked. Untoasted pecans go soggy in pie filling.
