Multicookers are becoming more and more popular every day. Today, their assortment in stores is simply huge - from simple to multifunctional, so there are more and more websites and books with recipes for them. Among the measurement measures , a multi-glass is often found. " How much is it in milliliters, grams or ordinary glasses?" - The first question that arises for an inexperienced multicooker user.
In fact, the answer is more than simple. Most manufacturers complete their crock-pots with a glass of 180 ml. But why is this volume chosen? For most Russians, this looks strange. The fact is that the first multicookers appeared in the United States, where they were equipped according to the local system of weights and measures. And a standard 180 ml is equivalent to 6 American ounces.
For most recipes given in the instructions for multicookers and on sites, all products are given where the multi-glass is indicated as a measure. This is how many grams will be and do not care in this case. But what if you want to cook your favorite dish, and the recipe says everything in ordinary glasses. You can recalculate everything for convenience using the following formula:
x = 180 * 200 / y,
where x is the amount of product in the multi-cup, y is the amount of product in the glass.
It will allow you to get how many grams of any ingredients from the recipe in a multi-glass. The obtained data can be arranged in a table so that you do not have to recount every time.
Product conversion table for multi-cups| Products | Grams |
| Buckwheat | 150 |
| Cereals | 65 |
| Semolina | 145 |
| Starch | 145 |
| Wheat flour | 115 |
| Rice | 165 |
| Granulated sugar | 145 |
| Salt | 235 |
| Ground crackers | 90 |
Such a table will help not only when you need to know a multi-glass - this is how much from an ordinary glass, but also when the products in the recipe are indicated in grams. In this case, all products are simply measured with a multi-cup, as in the case of cooking in the oven or on the stove.
Knowing 1 multi-glass is how many grams, you can cook any dish to your liking. Many users of multicookers quickly get used to a new measure of weights and no longer imagine how they measured before. True, recently some manufacturers, given the fact that their products are delivered to countries with a metric measurement system, have begun to complete an additional 200 ml glass.
In order for the multicooker user to understand how much the glass holds in the standard set, there is, of course, information in the instructions. And on each such cup there are 2 markings: one is milliliters (40, 80, 120 and 160 ml), and the second is a quarter, half and three quarters of a glass. All this helps to facilitate the dosage of products during cooking.
But if everything is so simple, why so often ask the question: "How many is a multi-glass?" Most likely, this information is of interest to those who have recently used a slow cooker and have not yet figured out its features. Or those who did not buy it at all, but simply liked the recipe and want to cook it on an ordinary stove or in the oven. In any case, this information will not be superfluous, as more and more people buy crock-pots for their home.
