280 grams. The ratio of mass and volume of products. weight calculation measures

Not all housewives know that an ordinary tablespoon can be used to weigh flour. If you do not have a measuring cup at hand, then it is easy to quickly measure something with a tablespoon for preparing a delicious dinner or baking, knowing how many grams it can hold.

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.

Measurement with one tablespoon

Let's take a look at how many grams of flour are in 1 tablespoon. Flour can be different, just like a spoon can also be of several types: with a slide, without a slide. This sometimes matters if the recipe contains grams, but there is no measuring cup or scales. The dish can be spoiled if more ingredient is added than necessary.

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

For accuracy, you must always use the same utensils when preparing food. You need to use it only for measuring flour, so that you can never make mistakes. Then everything will turn out perfectly according to the recipe.

How many spoons is 50 and 100 grams of flour?

Having weighed the amount of raw wheat, it is possible to get an answer to the question asked. 50 grams of product is two spoons and a small top, and therefore 100 grams is four cutlery. You can scoop up five large scoops without a top.

When a culinary record suggests taking 150 grams of flour, then you need to add five large appliances with a high top, or six plus add a small slide. It is also easy to calculate that ten scoops without a top contain 200 g of the product. No more measuring instruments are needed. If the recipe specifies a glass of the product, then this is usually 250 g by culinary standards, that is, 9 scoops and a large top.

Table of useful instrument measurements

This data will help out under any circumstances when the scales broke and the glass was lost. Now you can cook using the spoon as a measuring instrument. It's 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 a mountain, and also 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.

In this article I would like to touch upon, albeit not for everyone, but an important topic. Experienced housewives, most likely, will not need this article, because their recipes have been verified over the years, but young housewives are very useful, especially if you consider that accuracy is very important for cooking in technology (multicooker, bakery).

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

But before we start, I would like to make an important clarification about the dishes that we usually use as a measure of measures.

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 indicative.

How can you measure the weight of food?

• scales
• steelyard
• measuring cup
• measuring spoon (jug) with electronic scales
• teaspoon
• table spoon
• faceted glass
• thin-walled glass
• a special set of measuring spoons (even in the "Fix Price" can be purchased)

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

Rules for using home weight measures

• We fill glasses with liquid to the very edges.
• Usually in cooking, two types of glasses are used for measuring: faceted (200 ml) and thin-walled (250 ml)
• Viscous and thick mixtures, for example, honey, jam, apply with a spoon, and so that there are no empty cavities. For the same reason, we apply flour with a spoon, and do not pour it out of the bag, otherwise cavities will form in the glass.
• Another nuance about flour - do not weigh it after sifting, it will be much lighter
• Pour loose products with a slide
• Watch the quality of the products, raw salt and sugar will be much heavier, but expired sour cream is lighter

If there are no scales, glasses - what to do?

If you do not have kitchen scales and it so happened that there is no faceted or thin glass either, you need to take any container and measure it with spoons, they will definitely be found in the kitchen. Compare the volume of the product in the spoon with the grams in the tables below and fill your container, which will later serve as a guide for you.

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 a basis, therefore, in the table below, the grams will indicate exactly the faceted glass.

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

Foreign weights

My husband and I often like to look at foreign food sites and take some recipe for our arsenal, but there is a small snag - 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 must admit, is not customary for us and cannot be compared with the volume of our glass. Therefore, we give foreign weight measures.

1 cup (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

You should measure flour to the nearest gram only in one case - for the purpose of sale. And for this it is better to use scales, preferably electronic. You also need to have them in the kitchen, but for flour it is quite possible to do with approximate measurements with the help of improvised "tools": a glass and a spoon. Do not get hung up on grams, the result does not depend on it! As a rule, cooking recipes indicate the approximate amount of flour that should be followed, and where it says "take 100 g", as a result, you may end up with all 150 or 80 for the same product.

This is due to the fact that flour is different from flour. Depending on the variety, growing conditions, collection, threshing and storage of grain, the amount and state of gluten, flour behaves differently, which is why it is more reasonable to direct energy not to scrupulous measuring of grams, but to achieve the required dough density. Knowing this, many confectioners do not indicate the weight of flour in recipes at all, but write “take flour as needed”, which means “as much as the liquid will take to get the desired consistency”.

However, the ability to determine this need and consistency comes with experience. It is easier for novice cooks to focus on grams.

How can you measure the right amount of flour?

1. Weigh it on a scale. A huge number of inexpensive household mechanical and electronic scales are now on sale. The latter, as the most accurate, are preferable, but more expensive.
   
2. Measure with glasses:
   • Today, in any store that sells household goods, you can buy plastic or glass measuring cups of various sizes. When measuring, be guided by their risks, applied for each product separately;
     
   • if you have a "muhinsky" 250-gram glass faceted glass with a smooth rim on the top, consider yourself lucky: you have a classic universal household "measuring device" for liquids and bulk products. Most of the existing Russian comparative tables of weights and measures are focused on this invention of the Soviet era.
     
3. Measure spoons. It is convenient for them to measure out a small amount of flour. In recipes and tables, usually standard tablespoons with a capacity of 18 ml of water (with a scoop of 7 and a width of 4 cm) and teaspoons containing 5 ml of water are meant.
   
4. Buy a package with factory packaging, for example, 1 kg, and divide it into equal parts, for example, 2 by 500, and then 500 by 5. Not very convenient, but possible.
   

How to measure flour with a faceted glass?

1. According to generally accepted measuring tables, 160 g of wheat flour is placed in such a glass, but it is necessary:
   • flour should have been wholemeal;
     
   • in order to avoid the formation of voids, it must be poured with a spoon, and not scooped up with the whole glass;
     
   • fill the glass without tamping, without tapping, easily and evenly;
     
   • on top, you should get a large rounded hill of flour, reminiscent of the lush hat of a rum grandma or Easter cake.
     
2. If you fill a glass with flour, observing the same requirements, but without a slide, flush with the edges, then the flour in it will already be 140-145 g.
   
3. To measure 100 g in the same way, fill the glass one and a half rim below its edges. To level the top layer so that you can better see the level, you can gently shake the glass with one or two light movements from side to side. But don't knock them on the table!
   
4. When filling the glass with other methods, the results can vary greatly. So, in a glass filled in the first way ("rum grandma"), but with the tamping of flour by tapping the bottom on the table after each spoonful in it, the flour in it will no longer be 160, but 200 grams (± 10 g). Which is also convenient: then dividing them in half, you get 100.
   

How to measure 100 g flour with a tablespoon?
Depending on the slide, the weight of flour in a spoon can vary from 6 to 45 grams:

• 45 g - with the largest (huge) slide;
  
• 15 g - with a slide equal to the volume of the spoon itself;
  
• 6 g - without a slide, flush with the edges (type a full one and "shave off" the top with a knife so that a perfectly smooth surface is formed in the spoon).
  

According to most tables, one standard tablespoon contains 25 g of wheat flour, which is very convenient for measuring: 25 X 4 = 100. To achieve this result, scoop up the maximum amount of flour with a spoon and shake off the angular tip of the "iceberg" with two or three light movements. so that a large, but even slide remains - this will be about 25 g of flour.

How to measure 100 g flour with a teaspoon?
It is inconvenient to measure flour with teaspoons. Nevertheless, it will not be superfluous to know that from 2 to 13 g of wheat flour is placed in it (depending on the slide).

To get tabular 8, do exactly the same as in the case of a tablespoon and then, using simple calculations, measure the required number of spoons to obtain 100 g.

Considering what was said at the very beginning of the article, remember that all the given values ​​may slightly fluctuate up or down, but absolute accuracy in the case of flour is not required. It is better not even to specially spread it all at once into the dough, but pour it in gradually during the kneading process, "as needed", which will only benefit him. And it's easier for you: it is always easier to fix the shortcomings of a liquid dough than an unnecessarily steep one.

There are also completely exotic methods of measuring out 100 g of flour, for example, using a drawn rectangle. Perhaps it is very accurate and interesting, but from a practical point of view, it is completely unacceptable: you will scatter and smudge more while you fiddle. Not worth 100 grams of that effort. Use old tried and true old-fashioned methods or modern technical ones.

If for something you need strictly 100 g of flour and not a gram less or more, and you don't have your own weights, ask to weigh whoever has them: a shop assistant, a friend, a neighbor - the light is not without kind people, they will help.

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 measurement - 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" teapot, 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.

Spices and additives (ground)

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.

Since there are not always scales at home, the recipes give 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 flour weighs up to 210 g, pre-sifted - only 125 g. As a result, bulk products must be measured to prepare products in a non-sifted 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.
