Whether you measure you cooking ingredients by volume or by weight, it’s important to know right amount for each recipe.
A few of the most common questions people have:
How many cups in a pound?
How many ounces in a cup?
How many grams in an ounce?
Here are some quick answers for you:
Butter
1 stick of butter = 1/2 cup, 8 tablespoons, 4 oz
All Purpose Flour
1 pound = 16 oz = 454 grams = 3.6 cups
Sifted
1 cup = 4 oz
Unsifted
1 cup = 4 1/4 oz
Other Measurements
1 oz = 28 grams
1/2 cup = 12 teaspoons or 4 tablespoons
1 Tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
And here are a few definitions you should know:
A “heaping teaspoon or tablespoon” means you do not level off the teaspoon or tablespoon after you scoop it out of your jar.
A “scant” cup or tablespoon or teaspoon simply means it is not filled to the top. In other words, the amount is slightly less than a complete cup, tablespoon, teaspoon, etc.
A dash = 1/16 teaspoon
