Cooking Measurements: Cups, Tablespoons & Teaspoons to Grams
The universal kitchen weight vs. volume guide for flour, sugar, butter, and liquids.
Key Takeaways
- Volume (cups) is unreliable for dry ingredients because aerated flour can weigh 30% less than packed flour.
- 1 US cup of All-Purpose Flour = 120g - 125g.
- 1 US cup of Granulated White Sugar = 200g.
- 1 US Stick of Butter = 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons = 113.4 grams.
