The table of measures and weights of products is complete. Measures the weight of food in spoons and glasses

Very often, many recipes indicate the exact amount of an ingredient required to prepare a dish. But after all, not every housewife has a special kitchen scale in the kitchen.

If this technique is not available in your home, do not despair. You can measure the required amount using a teaspoon, dessert or tablespoon.

Note! But it should be borne in mind that the amount will depend on the component itself. It all depends on the weight and density of the ingredient. Therefore, a cutlery filled with different ingredients will weigh differently.

A tablespoon is a cutlery. Its volume is 18 milliliters. This cutlery is used for eating cereals, first courses or other liquid culinary delights.

If it is necessary to weigh a particular product, it is worth considering the density of the ingredient and the "load" of the cutlery. Weight with and without slide will vary from 4 to 6 grams.

The most common ingredients in the kitchen that are required to prepare a dish are sugar, flour and salt. Therefore, it is worth knowing the measurement measures of these products.

Honey is often used in many dishes. This is a very allergenic product, so it is worth knowing how many grams of honey are in a tablespoon in order not to exceed its permitted dose. One spoon contains 30 gr. honey, provided that it is a liquid consistency.

Tables like these are helpful in the kitchen. They save women from the need to purchase unnecessary kitchen equipment and clutter up the kitchen space. This significantly saves a woman's time, physical strength and financial resources.

How many grams are in a teaspoon: list

A teaspoon is a cutlery used for eating desserts, stirring tea, coffee or other hot drinks. The weight of the cutlery with and without a slide varies from 3 to 6 grams. The volume of the cutlery is 5 milliliters.

How many grams are in a teaspoon of the most commonly used ingredients:

    Water - five.
  • Salts:

Having such tables at hand, the hostess can easily create an exquisite, unique and original dish in her kitchen, even according to a multi-component recipe.

Knowing the measure of measurement will help her better navigate the ratio of volume and mass of all products and ingredients necessary for cooking.

Since there are not always scales at home, the recipes contain the dosage of products in tea and faceted glasses, a tablespoon and a teaspoon.

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 find out that in one tablespoon there are 30 grams of salt and 25 grams of sugar. And in one faceted glass 200 grams and 200 ml of water. And in one glass - 100-130 grams of flour and 18 grams of sugar.

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

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) must be filled completely in glasses and spoons.

Viscous products (sour cream, condensed milk, jam) should be put into glasses and scooped up with a spoon so that a "slide" is formed.

The same applies to bulk products. Flour should be poured into glasses, since when you scoop it by dipping the glass into a bag with 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 tamping and without shaking, as well as without prior loosening. This is especially true for flour. So, flour in a teacup normally filled with a "slide" weighs 160 g, and tamped - up to 210 g, pre-sifted - only 125 g. As a result, bulk products must be measured to prepare products in a whole form, and then sieved. A dish filled with flour is shown in the figure.

On a note

In recipes to shorten the presentation, not "faceted glass" is written, but "glass".

If the moisture content and condition of the product deviate from the norm, its weight changes in the same volume. So, fermenting sour cream is lighter than fresh, non-fermented; damp sugar and salt are heavier than normal.

When they want to cook something tasty and healthy, people are often faced with the fact that the components of the dish in the recipes are presented in grams. Products are solid, liquid, free-flowing, viscous, etc. How to measure those very grams? Experienced housewives have already solved this problem.

Weight-to-volume ratio


It is known from the school course that different substances have different densities, and, therefore, the same weight can occupy a different volume.

Not everyone has a food scale in the kitchen, and they are not always useful. For example, weighing 50 g of flour or 70 g of rice is not very convenient and takes a lot of time. If you follow the recipe and measure the required grams using a scale, cooking will take so long that no housewife will be satisfied with the results of her labor, even if the dish turns out to be delicious.

As a rule, accuracy is required when experimenting with new dishes, as well as diets and fasting days. What is already known and passed is usually done by eye, i.e. experience comes with practice.

But what about those who start something new? For such, there is a measuring table in which it is presented how much volume a certain amount of bulk products occupies.

How is it more customary to measure food in the kitchen? Yes, with what is at hand - spoons, glasses, jars, etc. From this and proceeded when drawing up the table. Keeping it in front of your eyes and, if necessary, periodically addressing it is convenient and useful.

Some subtleties


The data on the ratio of volume and weight of bulk solids may not seem accurate enough. The fact is that in the kitchen we use the utensils that are at hand. The teaspoons and tablespoons we use can vary greatly in size and capacity. For example, there are 2.5 and 5 ml teaspoons, and 10 ml dessert spoons. There is also a variety of tablespoons. There are large tablespoons with a scoop 7 cm long and 4 cm wide - they hold 18 ml of water. There are very small ones, with a 5 cm long scoop, they hold 12 ml of volume. There are medium - 15 ml.

The faceted glass, which is present in the table as a container, has long since become a thing of the past. Not everyone even knows what he looked like. We are guided by the fact that it contained 200 ml of water. Many teacups today hold the same volume.

To concretize the declared measures of volume that the table contains, we will take the following values:

  • A teaspoon - 5 ml.
  • A tablespoon - 15 ml (or 3 teaspoons).
  • Faceted glass - 200 ml (13 tablespoons or 40 teaspoons);
  • Standard glass (thin teaspoon) - 250 ml (1.25 faceted glass, or 17 tablespoons, or 50 teaspoons).

Based on these volume measures, you will be able to choose the dishes that will most closely match the indicated ratios. It is not difficult to find at home convenient containers for bulk products that meet the necessary criteria. When choosing, if necessary, it is better to use weights and measurements.

Today, on store shelves, there is a large assortment of various measuring containers for products - glass, plastic, etc., with a volume of several milliliters and above. Such a purchase will not be expensive, but it will be very useful for the kitchen. Measuring containers for products are able to replace kitchen scales and facilitate household work.

Being engaged in culinary creativity, you need to be careful in everything and take your time. In the process of cooking, do not forget about the rules by which you need to measure bulk products:

  1. Pour the product into a measuring container gently, with light movements, do not tamp it.
  2. The measuring container for food must be dry and clean.
  3. All calculations in the table assume that bulk products are poured into a measuring container “without a slide”.

Using such a useful tool as the offered measuring table, you can easily cope with any recipe, save your time and effort. And may the result obtained please you and your loved ones.

When preparing almost any dish, we measure the amount of necessary ingredients in the usual ways for us, be it a glass, a cup or a 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 in grams is indicated.

In such cases, an indispensable thing is which indicates both the number of milliliters for various kinds of liquids, and the weight in grams for dry products. Even with this useful kitchen appliance, it doesn't hurt to know the volume of the utensils most often used in food preparation.

A teaspoon holds 5 ml of water, three times more, that is, 15 ml; familiar to everyone, which is also called "Stalinist" or "Soviet", there are two types - with a smooth rim and without it. A glass with a rim is considered a tea glass, since it was in it that the train conductors carried tea around the carriage, 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 food. For approximate data, a table of measures and weights of products may be useful. In grams, many dry foods weigh much less than their volume in milliliters.

The tables below provide gram volume equivalent by weight, breaking down foods into convenient subcategories.

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

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

Bulk products

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

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

Note: If there is no traditional at hand in your kitchen, then it can be replaced with a plastic one. A standard clear polypropylene disposable cup holds exactly 200 ml of water.

Since in the preparation of most dishes, spices are needed a little, a teaspoon and a tablespoon become their main yardsticks. For convenience, a standard volume of 10 ml was added. Spoon measures of weight of food are not equivalent to volume.

The weight of most spices and additives depends on the grind 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 is not always the same.
  • Very often spices are measured in pinches, in one pinch about a quarter of a teaspoon.

It often happens that at the right moment there are no scales at hand, and it is necessary to measure a certain amount of grams of food. In order not to guess, a table of measures of weight and volume of products was invented, which helps to determine the amount of required ingredients without using measuring equipment. In order to measure this or that product, you must use a glass, a tablespoon or a teaspoon. Based on the volume of these cutlery in every kitchen, you can calculate the weight of the food without using a kitchen scale. Only the so-called culinary standards of weights and measures are involved. This method is very common in cooking.

When calculating weight, you need to remember some features. For example, when measuring bulk products, it should be borne in mind that they tend to be compacted. This is especially true of flour, which can have different densities. When measuring flour, you do not need to try to tamp it, and, on the contrary, you should not sift the flour before placing it in a glass. Otherwise, in the first case, too much product will fit into a faceted or thin glass, and in the second, oxygen-enriched flour will become airy and will fit less than indicated in the table. Also, one of the features of such products is that they can create voids when scooped up. Therefore, they must be poured gradually.

When measuring high viscosity foods such as jams, condensed milk or honey, remember to measure them by filling a glass or a heaping spoon. The same applies equally to bulk products. Also, when measuring liquids, for example milk, it is necessary to fill the dishes or cutlery completely, to the very brim. In other words, regardless of the product, you should try to apply more. Measurements do not need to be taken with spoons or glasses. You can use any other utensil, having previously measured its volume. However, even when measuring by standard means, before using glasses or spoons, it will not be superfluous to find out their volume in order to make sure that further measurements are correct. The volume taken as a basis is indicated in the table. It is necessary to measure with water.

Using these measures of weight measurement in spoons or glasses, it is worthwhile to understand that this method is approximate and depends on a number of factors, including the composition of the product, moisture and even freshness. Nevertheless, the culinary comparison table of weights and measures is a universal assistant for measuring when it is impossible or unwilling to use technical means.
