All cooking recipes always indicate how much salt needs to be added so that the dish is not too salty or, on the contrary, under-salted. It is not always convenient to weigh salt on a kitchen scale, especially when you cook quickly and do not really want to mess with weighing. In such situations, an ordinary tablespoon will come to your aid , which will very actively serve as a measured tool. At the same time, she will measure you salt and other bulk products with a certain accuracy.
Right spoon
100 grams of salt - how many tablespoons is it? So many housewives ask, because it is much more convenient to measure salt in the kitchen with a spoon than on the scales. Do not forget that the spoons are also of very different sizes, although they are all approximately similar in volume. So, to answer the question: “100 grams of salt - how many tablespoons?” - let's first determine the unit of measure.
We take a standard tablespoon with a length of its working surface of 7 cm and a width of 4. In this spoon, exactly 25 grams of salt is placed without a slide. So, if we need 100 grams of salt, how many tablespoons will be needed? Right, four.
If you decide to pick up a spoon with a slide, then the weight of the contents will increase slightly. 30 grams will already fit in a spoon. Thus, 100 grams of salt in a spoon with a slide is three whole and a third of another tablespoon.
And in the glasses?
Sometimes you need to use a large amount of salt, for example, for preparing marinade, for large rolls of vegetables for the winter, for preparing a large volume of dishes, for pickling cabbage and so on. It will be difficult to measure salt with tablespoons all the time.
Then the most ordinary glass will come to the rescue. 100 grams of salt - how much will it be in a glass? But there are a great many of these dishes now, all glasses are different in both height and volume. Therefore, we take an ordinary faceted glass as a sample, which is sold today in any convenience store.
If the salt is filled to the very top, then exactly 320 grams of salt will enter into such dishes. If you fill the glass to the upper girdle, the weight will be slightly less - 290 grams.
Thus, if you need to determine 100 grams of salt is how much is in glasses, then it is enough to fill one third, and you will get the desired result.
By the way, one faceted glass contains salt a little more than 10 tablespoons with a slide, it is easy to remember: 1 glass - 10 tablespoons.
Tea assistants
We have already determined: to get 100 grams of salt, how many tablespoons we need. And if you need less? Or, suppose there is no tablespoon at hand, but only tea and dessert. It is interesting to know how much salt will fit there?
We are pleased to reveal this secret to you - exactly 7 grams without a slide and 10 - with a slide. It’s easy to remember these indicators: three times more salt is placed in a tablespoon with a slide than in a teaspoon. That's all simple math.
The indicators of the dessert spoon are as follows: without a slide 14 grams, with a slide - 20.
And how many other products?
Surely the curious housewives will be interested in the question, but how to count other loose products - cereals, flour, with spoons. Satisfy this curiosity.
Water in a tablespoon includes 18 grams, flour - 10 (with a slide - 15), sugar 20 g and 25, respectively. Dried herbs are placed in one tablespoon in the amount of 5/10 grams, and finely chopped greens - 10/15 grams.
Vegetable oil in a tablespoon will fit 17 grams (with a slide to collect it, whatever one may say, will not work), and milk - 20 grams.
Here, indicators are given taking into account the fact that all bulk materials - salt, sugar, cereals, flour - are in a dry state. If the salt or sugar is wet, absorbed moisture, then their weight will be somewhat larger. Do not forget about these nuances, and also remember that due to the special size of spoons and glasses, the weight of bulk products can vary in the direction of plus or minus 1-2 grams.
Enjoy your time in the kitchen!
