How to Convert Weight to Volume for Cooking
Converting weight to volume for cooking ingredients helps when you only have measuring cups. Different ingredients have different densities, so conversions vary.
Approximate conversions: Flour 125g/cup, Sugar 200g/cup, Butter 227g/cup, Rice 185g/cup. These are guidelines; actual values depend on measuring method and ingredient type.
For best baking results, use a kitchen scale and measure by weight rather than volume.
Quick Tips
- 1 mile = 1.609 km (miles are bigger)
- 1 kg = 2.205 lbs (roughly double + 10%)
- Temperature: (°F - 32) × 5/9 = °C
Frequently Asked Questions
Approximately 1.6 cups (200g / 125g/cup).
Exactly 1 cup (200g / 200g/cup).
No, they're approximations. Measuring method affects accuracy.
Weighing is more accurate, especially for baking.
