How much is 3/4 cup: water, flour, sugar and other basic ingredients

In recipes is often given as a measure of a glass. And, it would seem, if you know exactly its volume, you can determine how much it is - 3/4 cup.

Volume of a standard beaker

We take a standard thin glass with a volume of 250 g,or 250 ml. Divide this figure into 4 parts, multiply by 3 to find out how much it is 3/4 cup. We get the answer - 187.5 g. However, the glasses themselves are different. For example, faceted, to which our parents are accustomed, with a volume of 200 g to the upper transverse band (to the brim - 250 g), is very rarely found on the market. But many owners have it. Some use a mug as a measure. In a standard cup, 200 ml of water can fit. To determine how much capacity is in front of you, you can see the numbers on the bottom. Many manufacturers from the outside indicate the capacity of the dishes.

Different weight of products

In addition, very few people know that each ingredienthas a different weight in the same two-hundred-gram capacity. 3/4 cups for flour, for example, it is 110 grams, and for water - 185. Will help translate the value specified in the recipe, comparative characteristics.
