How many grams are in a glass: a convenient table of measures and product weights in grams

When preparing almost any dish, we measure the amount of necessary ingredients in the usual ways for us, whether it be a glass, cup or spoon. And all would be fine, but only glasses and cups are not the same for everyone, and in many recipes the weight of the desired product is indicated in grams.

In such cases, an indispensable thing is a measuring cup, on which both the number of milliliters for various kinds of liquids and the weight in grams for dry products are indicated. Even with this useful kitchen appliance, it doesn’t hurt to know the volume of dishes most often used in cooking.

5 ml of water is placed in a teaspoon, a tablespoon is three times more, that is 15 ml; the faceted glass familiar to everyone , which is also called “Stalinist” or “Soviet,” can be of two types - with and without a smooth rim. A glass with a rim is considered to be a tea, because it was in it that the conductors in the trains carried tea along the car, the volume of this glass is 250 ml; the same glass, but without a rim - 200 ml.

It is important to remember that the volume of the dishes is not always equal to the weight of the product. A table of measures and weights of products may be useful for sample data. In grams, many dry foods weigh much less than their volume in milliliters.

The tables below offer the weight equivalent of volume in grams, breaking food into convenient subcategories.

Note: The table of measures and weights of products in grams is developed taking into account the filling of dishes as follows:

• spoon - with a small slide;
• a glass - to the brim;
• jar - to the neck.

Bulk products

This type includes cereals, sugar, salt, flour and some others. The table for measuring the weight of bulk products offers the main measurement methods - a spoon and a glass, dividing them into several types, according to volume. For convenience in preparing large portions, half-liter and liter cans were added.

Always read the recipe carefully - one cup of flour does not mean 200 g of flour, even if your cup is a little more than 200 ml. Remember that in the "Stalin" tea glass, filled to the brim, only 160 g of flour.

Note: If your kitchen does not have a traditional faceted glass at hand , it can be replaced with a plastic one. A standard clear disposable polypropylene cup holds exactly 200 ml of water.

Spices and additives (ground)

Since there is not much need for spices in the preparation of most dishes, their main standards are a teaspoon and a tablespoon. For convenience, a dessert spoon was added , the standard volume of which is 10 ml. Measures of the weight of the products in the spoons are not equivalent to their volume.

The weight of most spices and additives depends on the grinding and quality of the product. For example, coarsely ground coffee will weigh slightly more than finely ground coffee.

Note:

• The table of measures and weights of products in grams does not guarantee an absolutely accurate weight, since the consistency and size of many products are not always the same.
• Very often, spices are measured with a pinch, in one pinch about a quarter of a teaspoon.

Liquids

Liquids are almost always measured in milliliters, which makes cooking much easier, since it is enough to know the volume of dishes in which products are usually measured. In the case when prescription liquids are measured in grams, their weight is as close as possible to the volume.

Solid products

Note: The presented table of measures and weights of products in grams provides approximate data. The exact weight of the products depends on their size and type .
