Popular recipes always indicate the quantity and weight of ingredients. If you don’t have scales at hand, you can select the required mass of recipe elements using cutlery. If you know the grams of food in spoons, it will not be difficult to prepare any dish. Naturally, it is impossible to remember the grams of all seasonings or bulk substances. A special table is the optimal solution.
Grammation in a tablespoon, table
In many recipes, the weight of bulk substances and the volume of liquid substances are indicated in glasses. But sometimes only a small portion of ingredients is needed to create dishes.In this case, the easiest way is to use a tablespoon. A standard cutlery is one whose scoop length is 7 cm and the width of the wide part is 4 cm.
You also need to take into account that sometimes it is taken into account whether the products are collected with or without a slide:
- without a slide - the device is filled to the brim with bulk, powder or liquid;
- with a slide - the maximum amount of bulk or powder has been poured.
To measure the correct amount of any ingredient, it is recommended to use the table data:
| Name of liquid, bulk, powder | Weight in a spoon with a mountain, grams | Weight in spoon, grams |
| Yeast in dry granules | 11 | 8 |
| White sugar | 25 | 20 |
| Coarse rock salt | 30 | 25 |
| Ground salt | 28 | 22 |
| Powdered sugar | 28 | 22 |
| Wheat flour | 30 | 20 |
| Starch | 30 | 20 |
| Cocoa powder | 25 | 20 |
| Water | 18 | |
| Table vinegar | 16 | |
| Milk | 18 | |
| Low-fat sour cream | 25 | |
| Mayonnaise | 20 | |
| Liquid honey | 35 | |
| Melted margarine | 15 |
It is most convenient to use a tablespoon when you need to measure a portion of food weighing 18-20 g. It is recommended to use a tea version of the cutlery as a measuring device if a small amount of powder is required - for example, 4 grams or 8 grams.
How many grams in a teaspoon
Tabular data will help to take into account the weight of products measured using a tea product. When selecting bulk or powdered medicines, you need to take into account that the product can be poured with or without a slide.
| Substance name | Weight in grams | |
| filling to the maximum | no slide | |
| Soda | 10 | 7 |
| Finely ground salt | 10 | 7 |
| Powdered sugar | 10 | 7 |
| Rock salt | 12 | 8 |
| Sugar | 8 | 5 |
| Granulated yeast | 3 | 2,5 |
| Wheat flour | 12 | 9 |
| Water | 5 | |
| Table vinegar | 4 | |
| Milk | 5 | |
| Vegetable oil | 4 | |
| Melted margarine | 4 | |
It is most convenient to use a tea device when selecting spices. 1 teaspoon contains 2-3 g of dry herbs.These ingredients must be used carefully, especially when canning.
Gramming a dessert spoon
This cutlery is not used very often in the kitchen. However, it would be useful to have information on the grams of dry substances in a dessert product. It is believed that two teaspoons of the substance are placed in one dessert spoon.
| Substance name | Weight in grams | |
| maximum filling | no slide | |
| Baking soda | 20 | 14 |
| Sugar | 16 | 10 |
| Powdered sugar | 20 | 14 |
| Rock salt | 24 | 16 |
| Fine salt | 20 | 14 |
| Wheat flour | 24 | 18 |
| Starch | 25 | 20 |
| Finely ground coffee | 14 | 8 |
| Granulated yeast | 6 | 5 |
| Crystalline citric acid | 16 | 10 |
| Ground cinnamon | 16 | 10 |
| Cocoa powder | 18 | 12 |
The specified “standards” can be considered approximate. Because when using spoons as measuring objects, their different shapes must be taken into account, and this affects the volume or mass of substances measured.
