About measuring graham cracker crumbs
Graham cracker crumbs are crushed graham crackers, used most often to bind a cheesecake or pie crust, and one US cup weighs about 102 grams. Because the crumb size varies with how finely the crackers are crushed, a food processor gives a finer, more consistent crumb than crushing by hand in a bag, and finer crumbs pack a little denser into the cup. The ratio of crumbs to melted butter is what decides whether a crust holds together or crumbles, so weighing the crumbs keeps that ratio dependable.
Crush crumbs finely and evenly in a food processor for a crust that presses together instead of crumbling.
