Cooking Weights: A Guide to グラム, オンス, and カップ

You've found the perfect recipe, but it calls for 200 grams of flour and your measuring cups only show cups. Or maybe a British recipe asks for 8 oz of butter and you need to know how many tablespoons that is. Kitchen weight conversions are essential for successful cooking and baking.

This guide covers everything you need to know about converting between grams, ounces, cups, and other common kitchen measurements.

Common Ingredient Weight Conversions

Flour (All-Purpose)

Sugar (Granulated)

Butter

Brown Sugar (Packed)

Powdered/Confectioners Sugar

Cocoa Powder

Common Protein Weights

General Conversion Formulas

When you don't have a specific chart handy:

• オンス to grams: Multiply by 28.35
• グラム to ounces: Divide by 28.35
• ポンド to grams: Multiply by 453.6
• グラム to pounds: Divide by 453.6

Quick Estimates

• 1 oz ≈ 30 g (actually 28.35 g)
• 100 g ≈ 3.5 oz
• 1 lb ≈ 450 g (actually 454 g)
• 1 kg ≈ 2.2 lb

Tips for Accurate Measuring

Measuring Flour

1. Fluff the flour in the container with a fork
2. Spoon flour into the measuring cup (don't scoop)
3. Level off with a straight edge

Or better yet: use a kitchen scale!

Measuring Sticky Ingredients

For honey, molasses, or peanut butter, spray the measuring cup with cooking spray first—the ingredient will slide right out.

Investing in a Kitchen Scale

A digital kitchen scale costs around $15-25 and will improve your baking dramatically. Look for one that:

• Switches between grams and ounces
• Has a tare (zero) function
• Measures in 1-gram increments

まとめ

Whether you're scaling a recipe, following international instructions, or improving your baking precision, understanding kitchen weight conversions is an essential skill. Keep this guide bookmarked, or better yet, invest in a kitchen scale and measure by weight for consistent results every time.
