When preparing almost any dish, we measure the amount of necessary ingredients in our usual ways, be it a glass, cup or spoon. And everything would be fine, but not everyone’s glasses and cups are the same, and many recipes indicate the weight of the desired product in grams.

In such cases, an irreplaceable thing is one that indicates both the number of milliliters for various types of liquids and the weight in grams for dry products. Even with this useful kitchen appliance, it doesn't hurt to know the capacity of the utensils most commonly used when preparing food.

A teaspoon contains 5 ml of water, three times more, that is, 15 ml; familiar to everyone, which is also called “Stalinist” or “Soviet”, comes in two types - with and without a smooth rim. A glass with a rim is considered a tea glass, since it was in it that conductors on trains served tea throughout the carriage; the volume of this glass is 250 ml; the same glass, but without the rim - 200 ml.

It is important to remember that the volume of the dishes is not always equal to the weight of the product. For approximate data, a table of measures and weights of products may be useful. Many dry foods weigh much less in grams than their volume in milliliters.

The tables below offer weight-equivalent volumes in grams, breaking down foods into convenient subcategories.

Note: The table of measures and weights of products in grams is designed taking into account the filling of dishes as follows:

• spoon - with a small slide;
• glass - to the brim;
• jar - up to the neck.

Bulk products

This type includes cereals, flour and some others. The table of bulk products offers the main measuring methods - a spoon and a glass, dividing them into several types, according to volume. For the convenience of preparing large portions, half-liter and liter jars were added.

Always read the recipe carefully - one cup of flour does not mean 200g of flour, even if your cup is slightly larger than 200ml. Remember that in a “Stalinist” tea glass, filled to the brim, there is only 160 g of flour.

Note: If you don’t have a traditional one on hand in your kitchen, you can replace it with a plastic one. A standard transparent disposable polypropylene glass holds exactly 200 ml of water.

Spices and additives (ground)

Since the preparation of most dishes requires little spice, the main measurements are teaspoons and tablespoons. For convenience, a standard volume of 10 ml was added. Weights of food in spoons are not equivalent to their volume.

The weight of most spices and additives depends on the grind and quality of the product. For example, coarsely ground coffee will weigh slightly more than finely ground coffee.

Note:

• The table of weights and measures of products in grams does not guarantee an absolutely accurate weight, since the consistency and size of many products are not always the same.
• Very often, spices are measured in pinches; one pinch contains about a quarter of a teaspoon.

Liquids

Liquids are almost always measured in milliliters, which makes cooking much easier since it is enough to know the volume of the container in which food is usually measured. When prescription liquids are measured in grams, their weight is as close as possible to the volume.

Caused a storm of indignation, “What is the deception?” they asked me, “After all, the manufacturer honestly indicated a lower weight!!!”, let’s figure it out.

Over the past decades, unwritten standards have developed in production and trade to which the consumer has already become accustomed.
Vodka - 0.5 liters, cigarettes - 20 pieces per pack, milk 1 liter and 0.5 liters (which were later transformed into 1000 grams and 500 grams), butter in packs 200 grams, little sunflower 1 liter, sugar (cereals) - 1 kilogram, sour cream 500 and 250 grams, small mayonnaise 200 grams, eggs 10 and 20 pieces per package, etc. and so on.

The buyer is accustomed to the fact that when he takes a bottle of sunflower oil, he gets exactly a liter of oil; when he takes a pack of butter, he gets 200 grams, and when he buys a small bag of mayonnaise, he buys 200 grams of mayonnaise.
Nobody looks at their weight for a long time. For example, I haven’t watched it and I think there are a lot of people like me.

But what happens next?
The manufacturer is reducing the weight, just a little bit so that it is visually invisible to the buyer.
At the same time, it maintains the same price (not a scam at all?) or its price looks lower compared to the price of competitors who, while maintaining the same weight/volume, have increased the price of their products.

Yes, the manufacturer honestly writes the weight on the packaging.
For example, here is Provencal mayonnaise from Zhirnov.

However, milliliters are indicated here, that is, volume.

And the weight became 190 grams.

But I think if one is replaced by another, there is still a difference and something It seems to me that 200 milliliters of mayonnaise is more than 200 grams.

“Wah-wah! How good,” the buyer thinks, “My favorite mayonnaise has not risen in price at all!” but at the same time, he actually pays more, because it was 200 milliliters, but now it’s 190 grams.
The buyer does not look at the weight/volume, he sees that the package is the same size and has not changed at all and for him it’s the same mayonnaise.

Is there any deception in this or not?
According to the law, it seems like no, everything is fair! But in fact there is manipulation and deception.
The buyer expects to buy standard 200 grams, but instead they sell him 190.
Did you miss it? Well, he's a sucker himself. It's a difficult time right now, yes.

But let's look at this issue from another angle.
Let’s say you are a smoker and are used to smoking a pack of cigarettes a day.
You have your own rhythm and you smoke just the last cigarette from the pack before going to bed or with your morning coffee, and then, on the way to work, you buy a new pack at the kiosk.

And then again!
And you don’t have enough cigarettes for your morning coffee!
Look at the pack, and it honestly says 19 pieces instead of the previous 20. What are your feelings?

You buy a bottle of vodka to sit with a friend and you know that just a bottle for the evening is called enough.
And then again, it’s not enough. You look and there is not 0.5 liters, but 0.420 liters. What are your emotions?

It's the same with products.
On Saturday and Sunday, my wife cooks milk porridge for the little one in the morning.
A half-liter (or 500 gram) package of milk is enough for 2 times.
If suddenly a 500 gram package turns into a 400 gram package, this will simply not be enough and you will have to buy not one package, but two.
In this case, the remaining 300 grams from the second package will simply be poured into the sink because... it will remain unclaimed.

Just don’t say that you can drink it yourself or cook something.
Why should I now drink something that I didn’t drink before or think about where to put it and cook something that I didn’t need before.

It turns out that by reducing the weight of the consumer they are forced to buy MORE and buy EXTRA.
Do you think this is not a scam?

Previously, when I bought a large package of mayonnaise, I knew that it would be enough for me.

Now this mayonnaise has become smaller.

And it is NOT enough for what it was enough for before.
I cannot buy the missing 100 grams, which means I will be forced to buy an additional 190 gram package of which half will remain and be thrown away.
This isn't cheating, is it? Probably not - business as usual.

It's the same with other products.
By the way, how will the government then calculate the rise in food prices? Will they say that a bottle of oil has not gone up in price? And they will modestly keep silent about the fact that it is now 800 grams?

Could the manufacturer do things differently and not manipulate the weight? Do all manufacturers do this? (as you state in the comments)

No, not all.
Here's the sour cream and butter "Zarechye" I bought yesterday.

As it was before, 250 grams and 200 grams remained the same.
So you can do without it!

So is the manufacturer deceiving the buyer when he indicates the weight is 10% less than usual or not?
What do you think?

PS. In my opinion, this is still a scam.

ZZY. Here's how it's done in Europe.
The price per kilogram or 100 grams must be indicated (thank you madezhik for the link).

This completely eliminates any manipulations with the packaging.

How to measure 200 grams (200 gr, 200 g) of mayonnaise using tablespoons and teaspoons.

The first way to measure 200 grams of sauce without weighing on a scale is to measure the product using a spoon. Spoons, tea or table spoons, are convenient because they are always at hand. It is difficult to imagine a kitchen where we would not find this popular “household measuring device”, known to any housewife. It seems to me that no one needs special training to use tablespoons and teaspoons. Although, it is worth explaining that all methods of measuring a product with a tablespoon or teaspoon are always based on the fact that a portion is measured correctly only when we follow one important measurement rule. Which? You need to scoop up the product with a spoon carefully, without a slide. That very mound that is so easily obtained when measuring the product is not a trifle at all and cannot be neglected. It introduces a significant error into any calculations of the quantity of a product, overestimating (increasing) its quantity, weight in grams, compared to what you expect when measuring yourself at home. It is especially important to follow this rule when measuring portions of loose, grainy, granular, lumpy foods and ready-made dishes. In cases where we want to measure 200 grams (g, g) of liquid, the problem goes away by itself. Since liquids in teaspoons and tablespoons do not create a large slide. And the volume of the measured product will practically coincide with the capacity in milliliters declared by the manufacturer of the spoon. In order to measure a portion of sugar without scales, when compiling our table, the following volumes of a tablespoon and a teaspoon were selected:

1. The volume of a teaspoon of mayonnaise is 5 milliliters (ml), which is 5 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).
2. The volume of a tablespoon of mayonnaise is 15 milliliters (ml), which is 15 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).

However: the indicated volume of a teaspoon and a tablespoon does not take into account one important feature of independent measurements of the amount of sauce. When measuring a portion with a tablespoon or teaspoon, you can scoop up the product in a small heap. Therefore, formal ratios like: 1 tablespoon of mayonnaise = 3 teaspoons do not work in all situations. Accurate measurements of weight and quantity will always result in some difference.

The idea of ​​​​a way to independently measure the weight (mass) of mayonnaise equal to 200 grams using a tablespoon or teaspoon is that there is a proportional relationship between the weight of the sauce and its volume. Determined from a physical point of view by the bulk density of the product. Bulk density itself, by definition of this physical quantity, is the weight of a certain volume taken per unit. Typically, bulk density, in terms that may be relevant to cooking and measuring portions at home, is the weight of one milliliter (ml). Or, how many grams are in 1 milliliter (ml) of mayonnaise. Knowing how many grams 1 ml weighs, we can say exactly how much one teaspoon will weigh and how much 1 tablespoon of sauce will weigh in grams. After all, their capacity (volume) is well known to us in advance and we can consider spoons (with some stretch, of course) as standard utensils. This makes it possible for us to use spoons to measure a portion of mayonnaise by weight in grams, without weighing it on a scale.

How to measure 200 grams (200 gr, 200 g) of mayonnaise - measure with standard and faceted glasses.

The second way to measure 200 grams of sauce without weighing on a scale is to measure the product using a glass. In addition to spoons, in the kitchen we always have another fairly convenient “household measuring instrument” - glasses, goblets, wine glasses, mugs and cups: drinking utensils. With mugs and cups (ceramic and glass) there is a separate conversation; too many varieties of cups with different designs, sizes and, as a result, different capacities can be found in the store. I would not recommend considering glasses, wine glasses, cups as standard tableware. Except in cases where you already know exactly their capacity in advance. But the glasses are really standard glassware, quite suitable for measuring out the sauce. With the clarification that there are two standards for glasses according to their capacity in milliliters. These two types of glass glasses also differ in design. We can always visually determine at first glance which option we have in our kitchen: a thin-walled (thin) glass glass or a faceted glass glass. In those rare situations when you are unsure or in doubt, it is easy to clarify the type of glass. How to do it? Here, it will be more convenient and faster to use the Internet. “Taking in” the following queries in Yandex or Google search: a faceted glass photo or an ordinary glass photo. From the image in the photo you will see how the characteristic design of a faceted glass differs from the appearance of an ordinary standard glass. As for their capacity, the number of milliliters (ml) of mayonnaise that fits in different glasses, the following proportions exist (and are strictly observed by the manufacturers):

1. The volume of an ordinary glass glass is 250 milliliters (ml), which is 250 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).
2. The volume of a faceted glass glass is 200 milliliters (ml), which is 200 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).

Please note: that although the volume of a cut glass or an ordinary glass glass in milliliters (ml) is always observed by the manufacturer of the glassware with fairly high accuracy, we are not always able to as accurately identify the fractional parts of the glass “by eye”. If you are in doubt or have not encountered such a task before, or do not have experience in measuring with a glass, it would be wise to find a photo on the Internet with additional information on this particular issue. What should you look for? An image or picture where the glass is conventionally equipped with a scale on which the fractional parts (shares) of the glass are marked. In order to confidently measure a portion of mayonnaise, as a rule, it is enough to enter one of the following questions in the search:

1. What does 1/2 cup of mayonnaise look like in the photo (one half, half, half).
2. What does 1/3 cup of mayonnaise look like in the photo (one third, one third).
3. What does 1/4 cup of mayonnaise look like in the photo (one fourth, a quarter).
4. What does 1/5 cup of mayonnaise look like in the photo (one fifth).
5. What does 2/3 cup of mayonnaise look like in the photo (two thirds).
6. What does 3/4 cup of mayonnaise look like in the photo (three quarters, three fourths).
7. What does 2/5 cup of mayonnaise look like in the photo (two fifths).

The idea of ​​a way to independently measure the weight (mass) of mayonnaise equal to 200 grams using a glass is that there is a proportional relationship between the weight of the sauce and the volume. As in the case of spoons, it is determined from a physical point of view, by the specific gravity of the product. Specific gravity itself, by definition of this physical quantity, is the mass of a certain volume taken per unit. Typically, bulk density, in terms that may be relevant to cooking and measuring portions at home, is the weight of one milliliter (ml). Or, how many grams are in 1 milliliter (ml) of mayonnaise. Knowing how many grams 1 ml weighs, we can say exactly how much one standard glass will weigh and how much 1 faceted glass of sauce will weigh in grams. After all, their capacity (volume) is well known to us in advance and we can consider glasses as standard tableware. This makes it possible for us to use glasses to independently measure portions by weight in grams, without weighing them on scales.

How to measure: 200 grams (200 gr, 200 g) of mayonnaise in ml (milliliters) and liters (l).

If we want to know how many liters is it - 200 grams of mayonnaise, then the table located on this page of the site will help us. Naturally, there is no direct relationship or generally accepted “school” rules for converting grams into liters. Grams (g, g) are units of weight or mass, and liters (l) are units of volume. It is impossible to automatically convert grams into liters without taking into account the features and properties of a particular product. However, if you approach the matter wisely and think, then nothing is impossible. From a physical point of view, we again look at the density of the sauce. So, the weight of the portion that we know is 200 grams. We measure volume in liters. Fine. The simplest way to tie everything together: grams, liters and density is bulk density. By definition, bulk density is the density or specific gravity of a certain unit volume. For example, one liter (l). The volumetric density of mayonnaise is accessible reference information and knowing how many grams 1 liter weighs, we can easily calculate how many liters are in 200 grams of sauce. In principle, I have no doubt that you can make the calculation yourself, but it will be more convenient to look at the ready-made answer in the table.

1. The volume of a liter jar is 1 liter (1 L) or 1000 milliliters (ml), which is 1000 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).
2. The volume of a half-liter jar is 0.5 liters (0.5 l, half liter) or 500 milliliters (ml), which is 500 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).

Given that the correct ratios between liters, milliliters and cubic centimeters - these are exact reference proportions between different units of volume, measure yourself at home:

1. - liter jars of mayonnaise are best for large portions, when the amount we need is several liters (l) of mayonnaise, but not fractional small portions of sauce.
2. - milliliters (ml) are especially convenient to use when you need to measure small portions of sauce and we have a special measuring cup or dispenser equipped with a scale graduated in milliliters.
3. - it is reasonable to use cubic centimeters (cm3) for measuring small portions of mayonnaise, also if you have a measuring cup or dispenser equipped with a special scale graduated in cubic centimeters (cc, cubes).

How to measure 200 grams (200 gr, 200 g) of mayonnaise in cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).

If we want to know how many cubic centimeters (cm3) is 200 grams of mayonnaise, then you can immediately look at the answer in our table. As I noticed, many people know that it is possible to convert grams into liters (l) and milliliters (ml). But if you need to convert grams into cubic centimeters (cm3, cubic cm), then people often “hang” in a little bewilderment. Although, figuratively speaking, this is the same “Easter egg”, only “side view”. There is nothing problematic about cubic centimeters - these are also units of measurement for the volume of a product. It’s just that we are not used to working with cubic centimeters in cooking and in the kitchen. Purely psychological moment. In order to confidently do an independent recalculation and find out how many cubic centimeters there will be in 200 grams of mayonnaise. Given the known density of the product (volumetric weight), it is enough to recall the proportions known to us from school:

1. 1 cubic centimeter (1 cm3, 1 cc) of mayonnaise is equal to 1 milliliter (ml).
2. 1 liter (1 L) of mayonnaise is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).
3. 1 cubic meter (1 m3, 1 cubic meter, 1 cubic meter) of mayonnaise is equal to 1000 cubic centimeters (cm3, cc).

All other calculations will be performed approximately the same as in those cases when we acted with teaspoons, tablespoons, faceted glasses, standard glasses, liters and milliliters.

But the traditional store-bought sauces, many of which have become boring a long time ago. And you regularly have to resort to various tricks in order to somehow diversify your diet. If you have a lot of money, then there are no problems, but what if you also want to save money? The solution is simple - try to somehow modernize and improve what you use regularly. And the site will now tell you several interesting recipes.

Sauce "Tender"

200 grams of mayonnaise, preferably homemade. Or purchased, but with minimal fat content. 100 grams of chopped hard cheese. 50 grams of sour cream, again, not too fatty. 20 grams of grated horseradish (sudden, right?), dill, salt, pepper. Mix everything until smooth. It will turn out very tender, but horseradish will still add some piquancy to the sauce.

Beet sauce

100 grams of sour cream, not too fatty. Boiled beets, grated on a fine grater. 100 grams of mayonnaise - again, homemade. One small onion, also grated, or chopped in another way. One medium pickled cucumber, cut into small cubes. The site team and journalist Artyom Kostin find this sauce quite interesting, suitable for dishes that should have some sourness.

Olive sauce

Contrary to the name, it has nothing to do with olive oil. But with ordinary olives - very much so. 200 grams of low fat mayonnaise. 100 grams of pitted olives, uncut into small cubes. And yes, you can use olives instead. A few cloves of garlic, herbs, salt, pepper.

Tomato sauce

For those who are already tired of traditional ketchups. You can either cook from scratch or upgrade something from the store. To do this you will need 200 grams of ketchup, 2 tablespoons of vegetable oil, a tablespoon of natural lemon juice and 2 chopped cloves of garlic. And also salt and pepper. Lemon juice and garlic improve almost any similar sauce.

Mushroom sauce

100 grams of low-fat sour cream, 100 grams of mayonnaise. 4 tablespoons of grated horseradish, preferably prepared yourself. And most importantly - 400 grams of finely chopped boiled champignons. It would be a good idea to add a pinch of chopped dried porcini mushrooms during the cooking process - this will make the taste richer. Well, salt, pepper and herbs. We warn you right away - there will be a lot of sauce, so the entire amount of ingredients can be reduced proportionally.

Andalusian sauce

200 grams of homemade mayonnaise, 3 tablespoons of ketchup. By the way, mixing these two common sauces is a great practice in general. So, to this mixture add 1 small finely chopped fresh onion, 1 teaspoon of cognac, juice of a whole lemon and ground red pepper. It will be sharp, bright and interesting.

Tatar sauce

200 grams of mayonnaise, a spoon of grated horseradish, 2 medium pickled cucumbers, cut into small cubes, 1 medium onion, also diced. Well, about one tablespoon of fresh parsley. Mix all this and put it in the refrigerator to cool.

An important point is that you should not overuse sauces, because, as you have already noticed, they are based on sour cream and are quite high in calories. And even if you cook them yourself, this will not make them less nutritious. Plus, they whet your appetite quite well, so you can eat much more than you need without noticing.
