Tom 14001 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 How much in grams or oz is a ''cup''? As in ''Two and a half cup of flour'' Having a curry day today, making my own Naan later Plus some Poppadoms but I'm confused about the kind of flour I need. + Madras Sambal & a Chicken Jalfrezi.

Dr Kenneth Noisewater 0 Posted July 5, 2009 Share Posted July 5, 2009 wikianswer: It depends what you have in the cup. A cup is a measure of volume, but a gram is a measure of mass. Depending on the density of the material you are going to have in the cup, the weight in grams of the material will vary. For example, if you fill the cup with lead, the cup will weigh much more than if you fill with feathers. This is why the cup is considered an unnecessary value of measurement, created by America to make things simpler for people who cook by an average, rather than precision. This question would be similar to asking how much does a 6 foot person weight. It depends on the person of course. A cup of water will weigh more than a cup of flour. For cooking, you can find tables that convert cups to grams and vice versa for a variety of food. To the left is a link with a table for standard cooking ingredients. Make sure you look carefully and scroll down to find the correct conversion table specific ingredient you are using! The conversion is different for each ingredient! Here are A FEW COMMON FOODS and their conversion from cups to grams (notice how much the weight varies!): Granulated sugar: 1 cup = 200 grams Brown sugar: 1 cup, packed = 220 grams Sifted white flour: 1 cup = 125 grams White rice, uncooked: 1 cup = 185 grams White rice, cooked: 1 cup = 175 grams Butter: 1 cup = 227 grams Almonds, slivered: 1 cup = 108 grams Oil: 1 cup = 224 grams Maple syrup: 1 cup = 322 grams Milk, non-fat: 1 cup = 245 grams Milk, sweetened condensed: 306 grams Broccoli, flowerets: 1 cup = 71 grams Raisins: 1 cup, packed = 165 grams Milk, dry: 1 cup = 68 grams Yogurt: 1 cup = 245 grams Water: 1 cup = 236 grams Confectioners sugar: 1 C = 110 g Cocoa: 1 C = 125 g Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tom 14001 Posted July 5, 2009 Author Share Posted July 5, 2009 The naans worked out brilliantly and also did some onion Bhajis. Uses a lot of oil though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
