Cooking converters

Butter Converter A US stick is defined as 4 oz by weight, so a "cup" of butter means 227 g regardless of what it measures out at. Cooking Measurement Converter Every kitchen conversion runs through a density, which is why one table cannot cover all ingredients. Cups to Pounds Converter Two cups to the pound works for sugar and nothing else — flour takes nearly four. Dry to Cooked Pasta Converter Pasta more than doubles, so 300 g of cooked needs about 130 g dry — and the reverse is three dinners. Fresh to Dry Herb Converter A third by volume — drying concentrates, though soft herbs lose their character entirely. Garlic Converter A medium clove is about 5 g peeled, and recipes that say "a clove" mean anything from 3 to 8. Grams to Cups Converter A cup of flour and a cup of honey differ by nearly a factor of three, so the ingredient decides the answer. Grams to Tablespoons Converter Butter is dense enough that a tablespoon is 14 g, while the same spoon of cocoa is barely 5. Grams to Teaspoons Converter Salt and sugar look alike in a spoon and differ by a third in weight. mL to Grams Calculator For water they are the same number by definition, and for nothing else. Oil to Butter Converter Butter is 80 percent fat and 16 percent water, and in baking the missing water matters. Pounds to Cups Converter A pound of all-purpose flour is about 3.6 cups, not the 2 that a pint-a-pound rhyme suggests. Uncooked to Cooked Rice Calculator White rice triples and brown only two and a half times, because brown absorbs less. Yeast Converter Active dry is about 40 percent of fresh by weight, and instant a quarter less again.
