If kept in a water tight container up to a year
Dry pasta lasts literally forever.
One ounce of dry macaroni is approximately equal to 0.21 cups. Therefore, 7 ounces of dry macaroni would be equal to about 1.47 cups (7 x 0.21 = 1.47). So, 7 ounces of dry macaroni is roughly equivalent to 1.5 cups.
3 cups dry macaroni
One pound of dry macaroni typically yields about 4 to 4.5 cups of cooked macaroni. The exact amount can vary slightly depending on the specific shape of the pasta and how long it is cooked. Generally, pasta roughly doubles in size when cooked, so it's a good rule of thumb to expect approximately 2 cups of cooked macaroni per 1 cup of dry macaroni.
In the case of macaroni, 5 oz (ounces) is the dry weight.
8 oz of dry macaroni weighs 8 oz. -I guess you really wanted to know how many cups is 8 oz of dry macaroni - it is about 1.8 cups.
A half pound of dry macaroni is typically equivalent to about 2 cups in volume.
To answer your question, about 2-3 cups of macaroni will make 10 cups of cooked macaroni. That is only because macaroni swells up when you cook it.................
it doubles and triples in size while cooked, so 1 cup raw = 2 to 3 cups cooked.
you can do that on a scale :)
You can store macaroni cheese in the fridge, but it will only last for about 2-3 days before it becomes unsafe to eat.
A cup of uncooked macaroni is approximately 4 ounces . So 16 oz is 4 cups.
