Measuring panko breadcrumbs by cup and by weight
Japanese-style panko is airy and weighs only about 50 g per cup, about a third of the weight of fine dried breadcrumbs, which run around 112 g per cup. That is a big difference when a recipe says "1 cup breadcrumbs": swapping panko in by volume gives a third of the bread by weight and a much crunchier, looser crust. Crush panko lightly if you want it to pack like regular crumbs.
