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

When preparing almost any dish, we measure the amount of necessary ingredients in our usual ways, 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 of the desired product in grams.

In such cases, an indispensable thing is a measuring cup, which 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, a tablespoon is three times more, that is, 15 ml; The faceted glass 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 offer weight-equivalent volumes in grams, 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 dishes as follows:

• spoon - with a small slide;
• glass - to the brim;
• jar - up 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 methods of measurement - a spoon and a glass, dividing them into several types, according to volume. For the convenience of preparing 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 cut glass 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.

Great-grandfathers of faceted

Several legends are associated with his birth. The famous Vladimir glassblower Efim Smolin gave Peter 1 new strong drinking vessel. It was a faceted glass (so that it would not roll off the ship's table during rocking). The king decided to check the quality and hit it on the floor with the words: “There will be a glass!” The vessel, of course, broke, but a tradition arose of breaking the dishes for good luck. In 1905, a still life depicting the skeleton of a herring, fried egg and the great-grandfather of a cut glass was exhibited at the Fabergé Museum in Baden-Baden.

Spices and additives (ground)

Since the preparation of most dishes requires little spice, the main measurements are teaspoons and tablespoons. For convenience, a dessert spoon was added, the standard volume of which is 10 ml. 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, coarsely 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.

Kefir

Kefir is considered a dietary and very healthy product. Housewives often use it to create sauces, gravies and dough. When preparing these dishes, it is important to use a certain amount of fermented milk drink. Knowledge will come in handy here: 1 glass of kefir - how many grams does it contain? A liquid product can occupy the entire space of the container, so experts long ago determined how many grams are in a faceted glass of kefir and tea. The result is no different from the weight of the milk.

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.

Subtleties of preparing semolina porridge

? These tricks will help you prepare an appetizing and tasty porridge:

• Delicious semolina and lumps are incompatible. To make the consistency uniform, it is better to pour semolina into cold milk . Heat gradually and stir constantly.
• The cereal pours out slowly and in a very thin stream . If you put a lot at once, you will end up with a lump. It is best to stir the liquid with one hand, forming a funnel, and slowly pour in the cereal with the other.
• Milk often burns. You can avoid trouble by pouring a little water into the saucepan, or simply use thick-walled dishes .
• If there is not enough milk in the house, you can add water to the porridge . Read more about how to cook semolina in water here.
• It is not recommended to keep the porridge on the fire for too long. It is enough to boil for 5-6 minutes and you can turn it off. You shouldn’t put it on plates right away; it’s better to cover it with a lid and let it rise. The result is a flavorful porridge in which you can feel the smallest grains. If a film forms on the surface, the porridge is cooked for too long.
• While the semolina is cooking, it may seem that there is not enough grain and the dish is too liquid. There is no need to rush; after steeping, the porridge becomes thicker .
• If there is not enough time for full preparation, semolina can be easily cooked in the microwave . The cereal should be diluted in chilled milk in advance. Once brewed, place in the microwave for 1.5 minutes. Next, sugar is added, and the porridge is put back into the oven for the same time.

A whisk will help give the dish some airiness. It is enough to beat semolina with a small piece of butter, and ordinary porridge will become tender and more tasty.
