So that you no longer have to puzzle when cooking and baking, we have created an overview of what these quantities and units of measurement mean exactly and how you can easily convert them.

Convert the tablespoon into grams

If TL or EL speaks in recipes, this means almost always painted tea or tablespoons. If there is the addition "heaped" you can add a little more to the spoon so that a pile forms.

• 1 tablespoon of oatmeal, tea leaves, grated cheese corresponds to 5 g.
• 1 tablespoon of cocoa powder, coffee beans corresponds to 8 g.
• 1 tablespoon of ground coffee, water, flour, starch weighs 10 g.
• 1 tablespoon of butter, screeching sugar, salt, cream, oil weighs 15 g.
• 1 tablespoon of milk, rice corresponds to 18 g.
• 1 tablespoon of crystal sugar, coarse salt, honey weighs 20 g.
• 1 tablespoon of syrup corresponds to 25 g.
• 1 tablespoon of liquid corresponds to 15 to 20 ml.

Notice

: 1 tablespoon corresponds to 3 teaspoons.

Calculate teaspoons in grams

• 1 painted teaspoon corresponds to 5 g of sugar or 4 g of flour.
• 1 heaped teaspoon corresponds to 10 g of sugar or 8 g of flour.

Notice

Quantities in glasses or cups

• 1 glass contains 100 g of flour, 200 g cream, 125 g rice, 140 g of screeching sugar.
• 1 schnapps glass corresponds to 30 ml or 1.5 tablespoons.
• 1 coffee cup (or a small wine glass) corresponds to 100 ml or 6 tablespoons.
• 1 medium shell corresponds to 250 ml.
• 1 large bowl contains 500 ml, which corresponds to 300 g flour, 400 g semolina, 470 g rice, 450 g lentils or dried beans.

Conversion of volume into weight quantities

• 1 ml = 1 g
• 10 ml = 10 g
• 100 ml = 100 g
• 1000 ml (1 Liter) = 1.000 g

But be careful

: Depending on whether it is a liquid or fixed ingredient, the milliliters or grams are slightly different

• 50 ml of jam results in about 68 g, while 50 ml rum 47 g correspond.
• 200 ml of liquid cream corresponds to 206 g, while that corresponds to 110 g flour and 184 g sunflower oil with the same volume.
• 500 ml milk are 516 g, but 500 ml of powdered sugar are only 445 g, while 500 ml of dried fruit weigh 320 g.
• 1000 ml of water (or 1 liter) corresponds to 1 kg, but the same volume corresponds to 550 g flour or 500 g grated cheese. For 1 kg of flour you need 1820 ml (or 1.82 l) the ingredient.

Examples of weight in volume

• 10 g of honey results in a volume of 7 ml, while 10 g of screeching sugar corresponds to 10 ml.
• 50 g of flour corresponds to 90 ml, but for the same weight of mustard it is only 50 ml.
• 100 g basmati rice result in 120 ml, while 100 g of fresh orange juice only produced 95 ml.
• 250 g of cream result in 240 ml, while the same weight of butter corresponds to 290 ml.

S to XL: How much does an egg weigh?

Press, splash, knife tip and more

• 1 hazelnut -sized piece of butter = 5 g butter
• 1 walnut -sized piece of butter = 15 g butter
• 1 Prise = 1-1,5 g
• 1 knife tip (MSP) = 1-2 g
• 1 drop = 1 ml
• 1 splash = 2-5 ml
• 1 shot = 10 ml

American cups in grams and milliliters

• 1 cup are generally 240 ml (applies to liquid ingredients such as water, milk, yogurt, cream, curd, etc.).
• 1 cup of dry or powdery ingredients such as flour, powdered sugar or cornstarch correspond to 120-130 g.
• 1 cup white sugar are 200 g.
• 1 cup oil are also 200 g.
• 1 cup butter and margarine are 225 g.
