The variety of culinary sites, free access to recipes and methods for preparing simple and complex dishes, of course, pleases. But it should also be understood that the author guarantees a qualitative result only with the rigorous implementation of all these components of the prescription and the appropriate dosages. This is especially true for seasonings. A slight excess of sugar, salt, pepper can completely change the taste of the final product.
Many housewives have questions, for example: 150 grams of sugar - how much is this actually in the usual measures of volume, tablespoons or a glass? What is the difference between the volume of rock salt from iodized? What is a pinch? We will try to understand this completely non-secondary issue. For example, take the most common ingredient in most dishes - sugar.
Three easy ways to determine the amount of sugar you need
1. Use scales, household or culinary. Their error is small, problems can only be with a very small dosage. The only thing that prevents the constant use of this method is the need to carry out the same procedures every day at each cooking.
2. Purchase a special measuring cup at any hardware store . On its outer side, measures of the volume of various bulk products are applied, and the problem of how to measure 150 grams of sugar will instantly disappear by itself.
3. You have neither weights, nor measured capacity. Then we turn to the most tested and tested method of all periods and times - the use of ordinary cutlery in the role of weight meters. In this case, it is desirable to allocate permanent utensils for these purposes, since and glasses and spoons are available in various shapes and capacities.
Glass as a measure of weight
We find out 150 grams of sugar, how much it will be in a glass. In an ordinary tea glass, 200 g of granulated sugar is placed . To determine this weight, it is not entirely convenient. A faceted glass with a characteristic border in the upper part is much better. It is under this border that 150 - 160 grams of sugar is placed. If we take into account that 6 - 6.5 g of the product is included in a teaspoon, then by collecting a faceted glass along the border and taking 1.5 tablespoons, we will get the desired 150 grams of sugar. How much is this in tablespoons? 1 tablespoon is almost 2 times more than a teaspoon, it includes 13 - 13.5 g of sand.
