How many grams of caviar do you need for one sandwich?

According to the standard, 10 grams of caviar are placed on a slice of baguette, 7 grams on a small tartlet, and 12-15 grams on a piece of regular bread.

How much does a standard jar of caviar weigh?

A classic tin can weighs 140 grams. However, packaging of 95 grams and glass jars of 200-500 grams are now popular.

Can sandwiches be made in advance?

It is not recommended to make them earlier than an hour before serving. The caviar will dry out and lose its appearance, and the base (bread or tartlet) may become soggy.

🐟 How to calculate caviar for the table and not go broke?

Red caviar is an expensive pleasure, so buying it “by sight” is dangerous: if you take a little, there won’t be enough for your guests, if you take a lot, it will hit your budget. Our calculator solves this problem by using restaurant food consumption rates.

☝️ Life hack: A standard green can of caviar is usually 140 grams. But now many manufacturers are being cunning and packing 95 grams. Our calculator counts 140 g in “honest” cans. If you take small ones, multiply the number of cans by 1.5.

Consumption rates (as we believe)

The calculations are based on classical banquet standards, proven by experience:

Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

❓ How much caviar is in one teaspoon?

A teaspoon “heaped” contains about 8-10 grams of caviar. In a flat spoon - about5-7 grams. This will help you portion out portions if you don't have a scale.

❓ How to properly defrost caviar?

If you bought frozen caviar, do not defrost it at room temperature or in hot water - it will “leak” and turn into mush. Transfer the jar from the freezer to refrigerator a day before serving.

❓ How long are ready-made sandwiches stored?

Don't make your sandwiches too far in advance! The caviar quickly weathers (dries out), and the bread/tartlet becomes soggy from the oil. The ideal cooking time is 30-60 minutesbefore guests arrive.
