How much cooking oil is in a glass?
Cooking a huge mass of dishes requires the use of vegetable oil. And it is often present not only in recipes of second courses, but also when baking. Many housewives prefer to replace butter butter or margarine.The fact is that for this you need to know the exact amount of vegetable oil in the glass. Indeed, in the recipes and instructions always write a specific amount of this product - for example, 150 g or some other figure.
Simplest way
It is in a faceted glass that it is most appropriate to measure the volume of a liquid if there are no scales or weighed packaging. If you fill the tank to the topmost side, you can fit 250 ml of oil inside. By weight, it will be 240 grams of frying liquid, dressing soups or salads. If you pour the liquid there only to “risks”, you will be able to measure exactly 200 ml of vegetable oil (190 g by weight). But sometimes such a mass of it is redundant.
How to measure a smaller amount of vegetable oil? You can estimate its quantity as follows:
- filled ¾ cup - inside 180 g;
- 2/3 cup is 160 g;
- accordingly, 1/3 cup contains 80 g of vegetable oil;
- if it turned out to fill only 0.25 of the vessel (or ¼) - 60 g of squeeze sunflower is inside.
Additional recommendations
But the owners often have the opposite situation - the oil needs more than it can hold 1 faceted glass, so you need to accurately measure the volume or mass of the liquid without using weights. Let only ordinary glass be at hand - this is enough to solve the task with acceptable culinary accuracy. To get 0.5 liters of oil, you need to fill 2 containers to the edge.
If the recipe is 400 ml, it will be enough to fill 2 faceted glasses of sunflower oil strictly up to the risks. If cooks indicate that the dish they offer should be prepared with the addition of 300 ml of liquid, problems should not arise again. Begin by filling 1 cup to the limit. Then pour the oil into the desired container. And there add 3 more tablespoons. But there may be formulations in which 200 ml of vegetable oil is mentioned. Here you can pour 1 cup to the risks.
Finally, we will give one more useful advice for those who do not have a cut glass in the household, but there will be tables and teaspoons for everyone. In a tablespoon contains 15 ml of vegetable oil, respectively, 150 ml is exactly 10 tablespoons, 120 ml - 8 tablespoons and so on. And if you want to be accurate to the gram, then remember that in a teaspoon fits 5 ml of sunflower oil. For example, measure 100 ml should be as follows: take 6 tablespoons and 2 teaspoons. And 125 ml is 8 tablespoons and 1 tea.
By the way, if you use recipes from foreign cookbooks or sources on the Internet, they often mention cups rather than glasses. Their capacity usually coincides with the Russian equivalent or is specified directly in the recipe. Pay attention to such nuances to the dish turned out tasty and the desired consistency.
