We measure liquid and loose products. 1/2 cup - is how many grams and milliliters?

Modern housewives love to experiment and learn from the experience of more skilled craftswomen. Having decided to prepare an unusual new dish according to the recipe, often it is necessary to measure out the right amount of ingredients with the help of improvised means, because not everyone has a kitchen scale. Glass - an indispensable assistant in this matter, he is at any mistress in any kitchen. But not everyone knows how much of this or that ingredient will fit in it. In this article in detail we will consider: 1/2 glasses is how many milliliters or grams.

Dry and loose substances

If you decide to cook pastries or dessert, you will definitely need sugar and flour. To prepare garnishes and cereals, you need to measure cereals: rice, buckwheat, semolina and oatmeal. Consider even such exotic options, when we need half a glass of salt or powdered sugar. If the sugar in a full faceted glass 250 g, then in a half fraction - 125 g. In the same way, salt and cereals, such as buckwheat and rice, are measured.

Flour weighs more easily, then 1/2 cup is how much? We answer: 90 grams, as a whole glass is only 180 g. Sifted flour will weigh 75 g. Sugar powder is more weightless, so half of the contents will be only 60 g. For example, crushed nuts in a half-glass weigh 50 g, and Mashed to flour - 40 g.

Liquids

1/2 cup - is how many milliliters? If you take a faceted glass with a rim along the upper border, then it can hold 250 ml to the brim. Accordingly, half of this is 125 ml. If you make an error or fill the tank, it is taken into consideration that 1/2 cup of water is 120 ml. And in the event that the faceted vessel does not have a rim, its volume is only 200 ml, in proportion to this half will be 100 ml. All liquids used in cooking and cooking any dishes have a similar density, so milk and sour-milk products, vegetable oil are measured as simple water.

Non-traditional application

With the help of a glass, you can measure the products that we usually do not put in it. For example, butter weighing half the capacity weighs 120 grams. What does it mean 1/2 cup of honey, jam or corn syrup? It's as much as 160 g of sweet and healthy product. So, in half the glass is placed:

• 115 g of peeled peas;
• 95 g of raisins;
• 75 g of fresh strawberries;
• 35 g of gerbera cereal;
• 105 g of buckwheat;
• 100 g of semolina;
• 80 g of corn flour;
• 82.5 g of poppy;
• 70 g fresh raspberries;
• 115 g of melted margarine;
• 150 g of condensed milk;
• 60 g of dried milk;
• 85 g of peeled hazelnuts or almonds;
• 175 g of berry puree;
• 60 g breadcrumbs;
• 150 g of tomato puree;
• 30 g of wheat flakes;
• 90 g of black currant;
• 6 egg yolks or 5.5 proteins;
• 3 eggs without shell.

How to determine the fullness of a glass

We will not argue half the glass is full, or half empty. The main question: how to determine that the product occupies exactly 50% of the total volume? If the glass is ordinary, transparent and faceted, without any incisions, one way out is to orient oneself "by eye". It should be remembered that the shape of this object from below is narrower than from above, so the middle of the volume will be above the midline height. Whatever the glass in shape, simple or with shaped, diamond-shaped faces, its capacity is 200 ml. Recall that for a faceted container with a border, this volume is reached exactly on this line.

It is much easier to use a special measuring cup, on which the divisions are measured, measuring the capacity with a certain step. There are also such specimens that have several gradings for different products. You can make it easier by drawing marks on a marker on one of the glasses, which are fitted for measuring, but it is much more convenient to immediately buy kitchen scales. So you do not need to count frantically, 1/2 cup is how much.
