The ratio of mass and volume of products. The ratio of the mass and volume of products Note: In recipes, to shorten the presentation, it is written not “cut glass”, but “glass”

Since scales are not always available at home, the recipes give the dosage of products in tea and faceted glasses, tablespoons and teaspoons.

How many grams are in a tablespoon and a teaspoon? How many grams of flour are in a glass? How many grams of salt or sugar are in a tablespoon or teaspoon? From the table you will learn that one tablespoon contains 30 grams of salt and 25 grams of sugar. And in one faceted glass there are 200 grams and 200 ml of water. And in one glass there are 100-130 grams of flour and 18 grams of sugar.

Below are the approximate weights (grams) of some products in these quantities.

It is advisable to use a scale or beaker to measure the capacity of glasses and spoons with water. As can be seen from the table, there should be 250 g (ml) of water in a tea glass, 200 g in a faceted glass, 18 g in a tablespoon, and 5 g in a tea glass.

If the dishes have a different capacity, you should try to select the dishes of the required capacity, which will serve as a constant measure for all products.

Liquid products(milk, vegetable oil) you need to fill the glasses and spoons completely.

Viscous products (sour cream, condensed milk, jam) should be placed in glasses and scooped with a spoon so that a “slide” is formed.

The same applies to bulk products. Flour should be poured into glasses, since when scooping it up by immersing the glass in a bag of flour, voids will form inside the glass along the walls due to the air remaining in it.

It is necessary to fill the dishes with bulk products without compacting or shaking, and also without preliminary loosening. This especially applies to flour. So, flour in a normally heaped tea glass weighs 160 g, and compacted flour weighs up to 210 g, while pre-sifted flour weighs only 125 g. As a result, bulk products must be measured for preparing products in unsifted form, and then sifted. A bowl filled with flour is shown in the figure.

On a note

In recipes, to shorten the presentation, it is written not “faceted glass”, but “glass”.

If the humidity and condition of the product deviate from the norm, its weight in the same volume changes. So, fermenting sour cream is lighter than fresh, unfermented one; Sugar and salt with high humidity are heavier than normal.

When preparing almost any dish, we measure the amount necessary ingredients in ways familiar to us, be it a glass, cup or spoon. And everything would be fine, but not everyone’s glasses and cups are the same, and many recipes indicate the weight the desired product in grams.

In such cases, an irreplaceable thing is one that indicates both the number of milliliters for various types of liquids and the weight in grams for dry products. Even with this useful kitchen appliance, it doesn't hurt to know the capacity of the utensils most commonly used when preparing food.

A teaspoon contains 5 ml of water, three times more, that is, 15 ml; familiar to everyone, which is also called “Stalinist” or “Soviet”, comes in two types - with and without a smooth rim. A glass with a rim is considered a tea glass, since it was in it that conductors on trains served tea throughout the carriage; the volume of this glass is 250 ml; the same glass, but without the rim - 200 ml.

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

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

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

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

Bulk products

This type includes cereals, flour and some others. The table of bulk products offers the main measuring methods - a spoon and a glass, dividing them into several types, according to volume. For ease of preparation large portions half-liter and liter jars were added.

Always read the recipe carefully - one cup of flour does not mean 200g of flour, even if your cup is slightly larger than 200ml. Remember that in a “Stalinist” tea glass, filled to the brim, there is only 160 g of flour.

Note: If you don’t have a traditional one on hand in your kitchen, you can replace it with a plastic one. A standard transparent disposable polypropylene glass holds exactly 200 ml of water.

Pearl barley
Semolina
Corn flour
Wheat groats

Spices and additives (ground)

Since the preparation of most dishes requires little spice, the main measurements are teaspoons and tablespoons. For convenience, a standard volume of 10 ml was added. Weights of food in spoons are not equivalent to their volume.

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

Note:

• The table of weights and measures 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 in pinches; one pinch contains about a quarter of a teaspoon.

Product	Product weight
	Tea spoon		Dessert spoon	Tablespoon

Powdered sugar
Lemon acid
Baking powder
Ground coffee
Breadcrumbs

Liquids

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

Liquid product	Product weight in grams
	Tea room (5 ml)	Dessert l. (10 ml)	Dining room l. (15 ml)	200 ml	250 ml	500 ml	1000 ml

In this article I would like to touch upon, although not for everyone, an important topic. For experienced housewives, most likely this article will be unnecessary, because their recipes have been verified for years, but young housewives will find it very useful, especially considering that accuracy is very important for cooking using technology (multi-cooker, bread maker).

Therefore, we decided to collect and combine various tables of measures and weights in this article.

But before we begin, I would like to make an important clarification about the utensils that we usually use as measurers.

Nowadays, teaspoons, tablespoons, and glasses have become very different in shape and size, so it is important to decide that the measures indicated in the tables below will be approximate.

How can you measure the weight of food?

• scales
• steelyard
• measuring cup
• measuring spoon (jug) with electronic scales
• teaspoon
• tablespoon
• faceted glass
• thin-walled glass
• a special set of measuring spoons (you can even buy them at Fix Price)

Also, in connection with the above problem of “different dishes”, at the beginning I would like to give general rules for measuring products.

Rules for using home weights

• Fill the glasses with liquid to the very brim
• Typically, in cooking, two types of glasses are used for measuring: faceted (200 ml) and thin-walled (250 ml)
• Apply viscous and thick mixtures, for example, honey, jam, with a spoon, so that there are no free cavities left. For the same reason, we spoon the flour rather than pour it from a bag, otherwise cavities will form in the glass
• One more nuance about flour - do not weigh it after sifting, it will be much lighter
• Pour bulk products heaped
• Watch the quality of the products, raw salt and sugar will be much heavier, but expired sour cream is lighter

If you don’t have scales or glasses, what should you do?

If you don’t have a kitchen scale and it just so happens that you don’t have a faceted or thin glass either, you need to take any container and measure it using spoons, you’ll definitely find them in the kitchen. Compare the volume of product in a spoon with grams in the tables below and fill your container, which will subsequently serve as a guide for you.

1 tablespoon	Product type	Spoon without slide	Heaped spoon
1 tablespoon	flour	20 grams	30 grams

How many grams in a glass

Nowadays, there is a huge variety of glasses, but in cooking, as a rule, a faceted glass is taken as the basis, so the grams of the faceted glass will be indicated in the table below

1 faceted glass	Product type	Grams
1 glass	water	200 grams
1 glass	vegetable oil	180 grams
1 glass	ghee	190 grams

Foreign weights

My husband and I often like to look at foreign sites about food and take some recipes into service, but there is a small catch - they have different weight measures. For example, in addition to quarts, pints and ounces, they do not measure in glasses; instead they use cups, which, you see, is not usual for us and cannot be compared in any way with the volume of our glass. Therefore, we present foreign weight measures.

1 cup 280 ml 1 tsp (1 tsp) 6 ml 1 tbsp. (1 tbsp) 17 ml 1 pint 570 ml 1 quart (1 qt, qwart) 1100 ml

Not all housewives know that you can use an ordinary tablespoon to weigh flour. If you don’t have a measuring cup at hand, it’s easy to quickly measure something for cooking with a tablespoon have a delicious dinner or baked goods, knowing how many grams it holds.

IN different recipes indicate different sizes of products: grams, glasses, spoons. It is very important for novice cooks not to get confused, so as not to make mistakes in weighing. To find out how many tablespoons you need to take to add exactly 150 g of flour, you need to have an idea of ​​how many grams a tablespoon holds.

Measuring with one tablespoon

Let's figure out how many grams of flour are in 1 tablespoon. There are different types of flour, just as there are several types of spoons: with a slide, without a slide. This sometimes matters if the recipe indicates grams, but there is no measuring cup or scale. The dish may be spoiled if more ingredients are added than needed.

Therefore, you need to remember that one tablespoon with a small top includes 25 grams, and without a top 20. If you scoop up a large heap of flour, then its weight will be about 30 g. A heap is a small amount, it usually ranges from 5 to 10 g. This easy to remember and apply constantly if someone cooks often. These data apply to wheat, pancake, and oatmeal. There are varieties that are heavier in consistency, so they weigh more.

For accuracy, you should always use the same utensils when preparing food. You should only use it to measure flour, so you never make mistakes. Then everything will turn out perfectly according to the recipe.

How many tablespoons are 50 and 100 grams of flour?

By weighing the amount of wheat raw materials, it is possible to get an answer to the question asked. 50 grams of product means two spoons and a small top, and therefore 100 g means four cutlery. Five large, topless scoops can be used.

When a culinary note suggests taking 150 grams of flour, you need to add five large utensils with a high top, or six plus add a small mound. It is also easy to calculate that ten scoops without a top contain 200 g of product. No more measuring instruments needed. If a recipe calls for a cup of product, this is usually 250g by culinary standards, that is, 9 scoops and a large top.

Table of useful measurements by instruments

This data will help out in any circumstances when the scales are broken or the glass is lost. Now you can cook using a spoon as a food meter. It is also easy to measure half a kilogram or even a kilogram.

It is useful for any housewife to remember how much flour is contained in one tablespoon with and without it in order to easily prepare the desired dish.

Perhaps this information will be useful to someone.

And in addition - a short video on the topic of the article.
