Tips: Measures (EU to US)

So this post will be non recipe, but I'll explain something that is tied to cooking.

I'll try to post some cooking tips like this in the future.

I recieved many e-mails in which people are asking me to do conversion from EU measures to US (grams to cups), and I think that measures are very important, ecpecially when tou make desserts.

So roughly this is the list:

There's different measures for different ingredients, it's because of their volume.

Granulated sugar: 200 grams = 1 cup

Brown sugar: 220 grams = 1 cup, packed

Sifted white flour: 125 grams = 1 cup

White rice, uncooked: 185 grams = 1 cup

White rice, cooked: 175 grams = 1 cup

Butter: 227 grams = 1 cup

Almonds, slivered: 108 grams = 1 cup

Oil: 224 grams = 1 cup

Maple syrup: 322 grams = 1 cup

Milk, non-fat: 245 grams = 1 cup

Milk, sweetened condensed: 306 grams = 1 cup

Broccoli, flowerets: 71 grams = 1 cup

Raisins: 165 grams = 1 cup

Milk, dry: 68 grams = 1 cup

Yogurt: 245 grams = 1 cup

Water: 236 grams = 1 cup

Confectioners sugar: 110 g = 1 cup

Cocoa: 125 g = 1 cup

And about ounce well this is roughly calculated: 1 Ounce = 28.5 Grams.

Actually I've tried some recipes which are in cups, and I calculated the ingredients in grams by this table and it worked fine.

Also there are many web sites which have converters so you can get more accurate measures.

Hope this helps:-)
