grams to cups

[Robert Fogt]

According to the Rec.Cooking.FAQ, granulated sugar is 190 grams per cup.

250 grams / 190 grams/cup = 1.32 cups

About 1 and 1/3 cups

What about butter? I'm trying to figure out 300 grams of butter.

I'm trying to find out what 200 grams of milk would be.

[Robert Fogt]

300 grams of butter is about 1 and 1/3 cups.

200 grams of milk is a little over 3/4 cup.

We should just conclude that the US "cup-standard" is a bit retarded and should be replaced with the metric standard.

[Robert Fogt]

That wont help. Converting US cups to metric milliliter is very simple but wont solve the problem.

The US uses volume for cooking measurements, UK uses weight. Using a metric cup (or milliliters) instead of traditional cup wont help convert things to grams.

Certainly not retarded either. While many countries may consider a scale a common item for the kitchen, it is not common everywhere. Measuring cups are smaller, cheaper, and easier to use than a scale.

Other problems are that the ingredients themselves differ. UK flour is a different density then US flour, for example. If you need 100 grams of flour for a UK recipe it wont come out as well in the US if you use 100 grams.

I need to know what 250 grams is in cups for pasta, i had thought maybe 2 cups or 3 cups but i'm not really sure.

Thanks

Would the same conversion work for sugar (300 grams of sugar equals 3 cups sugar)? Also what should I use for 200 grams butter (in cup/stick equivalents)? Thanks!

[Robert Fogt]

Granulated sugar is 190 grams/cup.
300 grams / 190 grams/cup = 1.6 cups, slightly over 1 and 1/2 cups.

Butter is 230 grams/cup.
200 grams / 230 grams/cup = 0.9 cups, about 1 cup.

egg noodle pasta is 90 grams/cup.
250 grams / 90 grams/cup = 2.78 cups, about 2 and 3/4 cups.

macaronni pasta is 115 grams/cup.
250 grams / 115 grams/cup = 2.2 cups, about 2 and 1/4 cups.

I have this recipe and have no idea how to convert it to cup, teaspoons, etc.

Can you help?
