Weights and Measures

A standard cup of a dry or solid ingredient will vary in weight depending on the type of ingredient. A standard cup of liquid is the same volume for any type of liquid. The chart converts standard cup measures to grams (weight) or milliliters (volume).

To convert Ounces to Grams, multiply Ounces by 30
