How many grams of flour and other bulk materials fit in a glass, table

For housewives and those who like to cook delicious meals for the whole family, a wide range of dishes and various household utensils is presented today. Devices make our life much easier. But with our mothers and grandmothers, it was not at all like that. To prepare fragrant pies or pie, they had to measure the flour with a faceted glass, and they cooked the porridge "by eye" or by measuring the required amount of bulk product with spoons. Today, a housewife may have a situation when measuring utensils are not at hand. The "grandmother's" method of determining weight will come to the rescue.

How to measure the volume correctly?

Measurements with glasses have been used by all housewives for a long time, because special measuring spoons have appeared relatively recently.

Some housewives basically use the "grandmother's" method, especially when making pastries and cereals.

That is why it is worth knowing exactly the volume of faceted dishes available in everyday life, and how many bulk products it contains. You should also study the basic rules for measurements, in particular:

• liquid products are poured in, filling to the brim;
• products with a viscous consistency are laid out with a spoon, filled with a "slide";
• loose ones must also be applied with a spoon or scooped up from a common bag using a glass.

When figuring out how many grams of flour are in a faceted glass, you need to know that the sifted product and ordinary flour have completely different weights. Loose ones must be measured in their natural form, and only then sieved through a sieve.

Volume of bulk products

If "glass" is indicated in the recipe, it means the same faceted container. It holds 200 ml of liquid and various volumes of bulk products, depending on their density and weight. Let's try to figure out the usual ingredients.

The products are poured into a prepared container as a homogeneous mass. Sugar, flour, or any kind of cereal fall into this category.

How many grams of flour are in a glass?

Loose products have different weights, so their volume will vary. Often recipes indicate a value (for example, "250 grams of flour") and it is very difficult to determine how much it is in glasses. In order not to get confused, there are many tables with the already given data in the public domain.

If you fill the dishes with flour to the brim, you get 160 g.

The flour is measured by sprinkling it with a spoon, but not tamping it. When you try to compress the contents of the glass, the weight will fluctuate, which can lead to spoilage of the dish. The situation is similar if you take a wet container for measurement.

How many grams of rice are in a glass

Rice grits weigh much more than flour. In addition, the grains (due to their shape) do not adhere to each other as tightly as they do with flour. Accordingly, the weight of the same amount of rice and flour will be different.

A glass that is completely filled during measurement holds 230 g of rice. Pearl barley and slightly less millet (220 g) show a similar volume.

Buckwheat in a glass - volume

Buckwheat is especially loved in our country. It is customary to eat buckwheat porridge not only for breakfast, but also serve it as a side dish for main courses. Therefore, it is very convenient to measure the volume with a faceted container.

One glass filled to the brim with buckwheat contains 210 g of the product. A similar indicator for lentils.

Sugar in a faceted glass

No baking recipe is complete without granulated sugar. It is more convenient to measure it in the usual way - it is faster and easier. Remember to pour it into a dry bowl. Damp walls will add weight and result in improper cooking concentration.

The granulated sugar filling the container to the brim weighs 200 g.

Semolina in a glass

Semolina in its consistency and friability resembles granulated sugar. Therefore, their weight is the same when measured with a faceted glass. The volume of semolina in a bowl is 200 g. Please note that a very small amount is needed to cook porridge of different consistency.

General table of measures

In addition to these products, our kitchen has a wide range of ingredients that can be measured in glasses. We will provide a summary table of volumes. Using the cheat sheet, you can prepare delicious and healthy meals.

Loose product	Weight when filled to the brim without a slide (g)
Wheat flour	160
Sugar	200
Fine salt	320
Powdered sugar	180
Starch	180

It is very convenient to measure the volume of a bulk product with a faceted glass. It is present in all zealous housewives in the kitchen. If a large amount of an ingredient is required, such dishes are indispensable.
