Get up to date, be modern, use a scale, they make them specialy for in the kitchen.Īnalog with a clock hand and digital with numbers, the easiest way of cooking. My grandmother 100 years ago was cooking like that. You can not measure weight in volume, one exeption in metric one litre of water is one kilogram, ond 1000 litre is one ton or 1000kg. Now when I come across an american recipe, I disregard it, to much hassle to convert it into weights. Measuring weights in volumes, today I found a recipe with 7/8 cups of butter, how do you measure that, putting your cup on a scale, filling it to the top and scoop than 1/8 out again ? Or a question above, 4 cups of chopped apple, exact, that is like asking for a perpetium mobile (a machine that works for ever without adding energie), an imposibility, the person who made that recipe should have added the size of the chopped parts, and than it can not work, if one is using a tall measuring cup of a wide one. Since I started looking for recipes on the internet, I have been wondering about american cooking. Convert 1/4 cup to grams 1/4 cup flour equals 31 grams. See this conversion table below for precise 1/4 cup to g conversion. You need to know what you are converting in order to get the exact grams value for 1/4 cup. Didn’t work at all! Technique aside, I’m convinced this is due to the huge variations in how people measure their ingredients using imperial measurement. Please note that cups and grams are not interchangeable units. No fail! But there are also reviewers of the same recipe saying the exact opposite. If you read the reviews of a recipe, in almost every case, there will be reviewers saying this was the best thing ever. Calculate weight of Cream, fluid, half and half per volume, it weighs 256 half and half weigh(s) 256 grams per metric cup or 8. This is honestly what made me change my mind about weight measurement. 1 metric cup of Jams and preserves weighs 338 grams g 1 US cup of Jams and preserves weighs 11.3 ounces oz Jams and preserves weigh (s) 338 grams per metric cup or 11.3 ounces per US cup, and contain (s) 278 calories per 100 grams (3.53 ounces) weight to volume volume to weight price density. If you need 3 or 4 cups, this can make a huge difference in the outcome. I wondered if converting a recipe is really an attempt to make something that is inherently imprecise more accurate by using weight? What I mean to say is that if the author of a recipe has a heavy hand scooping flour into a cup, the weight of this “cup” can be a range of 140 – 180 gm. I’ve converted some recipes to metric and found they didn’t work. My baking recipes turn out so much better. Once I tried it, I am a convert and believer in weight measurement vs.
