How many grams are in a tablespoon and a teaspoon? Tables of measures and weights of products in spoons and glasses

Often, when preparing various dishes, housewives, without having accurate kitchen scales at hand, measure the required amount of necessary ingredients using improvised means. Mostly tablespoons and tea spoons are used, sometimes dessert spoons, or for large volumes measuring in glasses is used.

It's simple, convenient and fast. However, you need to know, for example, how many grams are in a tablespoon of certain products, how much is contained in a tea or dessert (with or without a slide) of various ingredients of free-flowing and flowing consistency. As, for example, in one of the recipes for a fluffy sponge cake in a previously written article, the composition is measured in spoons, although the number of grams is written next to it.

It is unlikely that anyone will remember all the numbers by heart, so it is best to always have on hand a special table for measuring the weight and volume of bulk, liquid and viscous products, which indicates the weight values ​​of the most popular ingredients, those most often used in cooking.

Every self-respecting housewife should have such a useful reminder in her kitchen, helping her quickly measure out the exact amount of necessary ingredients for future breakfasts, lunches and dinners. And even a novice cook will never make a mistake in the dosage, knowing how much a particular type of product weighs when placed in a tablespoon or teaspoon.

How many grams of salt, sugar or honey are in a tablespoon?

This well-known kitchen appliance is in every home! And not even one copy, which is why we will use it as a means for measuring the weight of the products we need. And the most ordinary tablespoon will help not only young, but also experienced housewives.

All components of dishes have different grain size and density, and this, of course, affects their “capacity” in a tablespoon. For example, powdered sugar or wheat flour are very finely ground, so more of them can fit. However, the density of these ingredients is not very high, so they will have a small weight in our home measuring device.

You can print this table of measures and weights of various products that can be measured in tablespoons to hang it somewhere in front of your eyes in the kitchen.

Another important point! Tablespoons can be different and their capacity can be the same. This depends on the depth of the cup (scoop) itself and the design of the product. For example, a “table spoon” is slightly smaller than a menu spoon in depth and in the length of the cup itself. In this table, the weight of the products was measured with a tablespoon having a length of 21.3 cm. Please note that discrepancies due to differences in models may be approximately 3 grams.

Typically, a standard measuring tablespoon is considered to be one in which the width of its widest part is 4 cm, and the length of the scoop is 7 cm. This is exactly what is mentioned in cooking when measuring.

Two pans for measuring bulk product

How to measure grams without scales, if there is no time and desire to use spoons and glasses, but you need a kilogram, two or even more of the product? Two pans will help, our grandmothers used this method! Measuring the weight of a product in this way is very simple, the main thing is to have in stock:

• large saucepan;
• a small saucepan that will fit completely into a large one;
• load - a weight weighing a kilogram or an unopened package of flour or cereal.

So, if you need to measure the exact weight of a product, you will proceed in the following way:

1. Place a weight in a small saucepan whose weight you know exactly - a kilogram, 600 grams, and so on.
2. Place the weighted saucepan in a large saucepan or basin.
3. Fill a large container with water to the level, if any, or to the brim.
4. Remove the weight from the pan; the water will decrease.
5. Now you can fill the small container with the product you need to measure. As soon as the water in the large saucepan rises to its previous level, the small saucepan will have the same weight of product as the load.

Totally easy! At first glance, it seems that the process is long, but it is not, and you will be convinced of the simplicity of the method as soon as you try to take the measurement yourself.

How many grams are in a teaspoon - table of different products

Almost all dishes have to be salted during the cooking process, and a small amount of sugar, flour, spices or vinegar must be added to add piquancy and emphasize the brightness of the taste. And, for example, the exact ratio of salt to the volume of the dish will allow you to create a bright flavor range, while avoiding over-salting or under-salting.

The most common ingredients that are most often measured in teaspoons are salt and sugar, so we would need to know how many grams they contain.

Video on how to weigh food without scales at home

Last year was a very fruitful year for apples and my friends brought a lot of apples from the dacha and I had to somehow determine how many kilograms of delicious gifts I had. But there are no such scales at home, so I found on the Internet an interesting way to weigh food without a kitchen scale. Using water and two pans.

Take a look, maybe it will be useful to you too!

You can also prepare delicious dishes without using a kitchen scale by knowing the average weight of a number of products. For example:

• yolk – 15 g;
• medium chicken egg – 55-65 g;
• large chicken egg – 65-70 g;
• medium potato tuber – 150-200 g;
• small garlic clove – 5 g;
• medium onion – 150 g;

Why is an overdose of SMS unprofitable?

If you read what is written on the package, it is easy to get confused and make mistakes. There is an opinion that manufacturers deliberately inflate doses so that consumers use up the pack as quickly as possible. In this simple way, the manufacturer increases income by about 10%.

It is not advisable to exceed the dose, things will not wash out better, but the negative consequences of an overdose will be:

• Rinsing dry matter is always a difficult task, and if it is put in excess, it becomes much more complicated. And if you don’t turn on an additional rinse - and this again means extra consumption of water and electricity, then white stains will appear on the fabric - signs of an overdose.
• A chemical “amber” will “start up” inside the drum. It persists for a long time, being transferred to the laundry during subsequent washes.
• The tray is clogged.
