100 grams of sugar in milliliters


Cooking culinary masterpieces often requires precise dosing of ingredients. Sugar is an integral and basic part of many desserts, creams, cakes, syrups and other goodies. After all, the success of the dish depends on compliance with the recipe.

How is the required amount of substance measured? The most convenient and accurate way is to measure with the help of scales. The only thing that needs to be taken into account is the tare weight, and look at the indicators of tick marks or just the display. Another familiar way is to use measuring capacity. It should be borne in mind that the markup should be special, and not loose or for water (it is known that its weight is heavier).

What to do if there are no scales or a measuring glass at hand? How to measure, for example, 100 g? For this you need to use alternative methods, you will need other containers and devices. These can be glasses, spoons, cups or plates.

How to measure sugar with a spoon?


  Spoons - the most affordable cutlery. Every hostess and every kitchen has them, so this method of measurement is used most often. But even among the tablespoons there are differences. Depending on what the device is intended for (soup, broth or sauce), the diameter and depth differ. To measure the exact amount, you should carefully examine the appearance of the cutlery.

  • An ordinary soup spoon, 19–21 cm in diameter, contains 25 g of sugar, which means that 100 need 4 pieces.
  • The diameter of the spoon for the sauce is 18–19 cm, it contains 23-24 g, that is, 4.2 is required.
  • The size of a bouillon spoon is smaller, it has 16–17 cm, the sugar sand will fit 20 g. To measure 100 g with a broth device, you need 5 spoons.
  • Dessert spoon has a volume of 10 cm, which holds 14 grams of sugar.
  • A teaspoon, 5 cm in diameter, contains 7 g of granulated sugar.

How to measure sugar with a glass?

Measurement of sugar in glasses is more convenient to carry out if you need a large amount of sweet product. Because pour 50 or 100 teaspoons, for example, takes a long time and requires a lot of patience.

Measurements can be faceted or ordinary thin-walled glasses.

Traditional and classic glass is considered faceted. It is strong with a faceted surface. The total volume of the container with the rim to the top is 250 ml, which can hold 200 g of the substance. And without the rim contains 200 ml of liquid, the weight of granulated sugar, filled to the brim, is 160 g.

Tip! To accurately measure the amount in a faceted glass, you must first dial the full container, you can with a slide. And then brush with a knife, as if to cut off the top. Thus, it will turn out exactly 200 g in a glass with a rim.

Thin-walled glasses have a volume of 250 ml, and if you fill it with sugar, the weight will be 200 g.

How to measure 100 grams of sugar with a glass?

In order to get 100 g, you need to dial an equal half to the mark of cut glass. In the tank without a rim should be a little more than half. A thin-walled glass should also be half full.

How many grams of sugar per 100 ml?

Sometimes there is a need to add ingredients in milliliters. So, a capacity of 100 ml contains 80 g of granulated sugar. To help measure a stack or half a glass of 200 ml.

How to measure 100 grams of sugar without weights?

To determine the amount of a substance without weights, you can use almost any tableware that is on hand.

A bank with a volume of half a liter and a liter is suitable for measurement, since it will be difficult and inconvenient to measure by large sizes (2 liters or 3 liters).

In each kitchen there are cups of different sizes and sizes, they are perfect for this purpose. The main thing to know the volume of the selected measuring cup.

We measure out 100 g of sugar.

Unusual ways

  • A cork from a large standard plastic bottle holds 8 g of the substance, and for 100 g you need 12.5 corks.
  • A matchbox has a volume of 20 cm³, which is equivalent to 20 ml. So 5 matchboxes are required for 100 g of granulated sugar.
  • Ladles and ladles can also serve as measuring dishes, but for this you need to know their exact volume. A small ladle (250 ml) should be filled in half, and in a large (370 ml) sugar should occupy a third.

Sugar in honey

Honey is undoubtedly a very sweet and healthy product, so it is not surprising that it is often used for cooking, replacing sugar. Sometimes because of intolerance, as a healthy diet or lack thereof. But how much you need to take honey to get the equivalent of 100 grams of granulated sugar depends on the composition of the honey, but there are average indicators.

  2. Fructose - about 50%
  3. Glucose - up to 45%

Sugar is one of the most popular foods. Almost never it is consumed separately, but only as a flavoring additive in food. Glucose is part of the mother's milk, so the newborn immediately "tastes" sugar. Having become adults, many people refuse to use sugar, because it leads to weight gain, an increase in the number of diseases of the cardiovascular system, a metabolic disorder, and a weakening of the immune system. Sugar is often found in various recipes from all kinds of cakes and pastries to various types of preservation. Especially often it is added when marinating. Sugar can not do if you want to make jam.

Recipes indicate the amount of sugar in grams or cups. To determine the exact amount of granulated sugar will help various measuring instruments. How to measure 100 grams of sugar in various ways? For this, you can use, for example, kitchen scales - the number will be visible on the dial or electronic scoreboard. They give an exact result, with a small error. You can buy in electronics stores. The amount of sugar in a spoon can be different: teaspoons - 20 tsp. (1 tsp. 5 g. Sugar), tablespoons - 4 tbsp. (1 tbsp. 25 grams of sugar). Spoons will give an inaccurate result, as you need to collect sugar with a slide, and it can be different. You need to try to make the slide small and the same for a more accurate result.

There are also tablespoons a little smaller, they hold about 15 grams. sugar, so you need to take about 7 of these spoons. Faceted glass - a little more than half (in 1 st. 180 gr.). Surely remained from Soviet times, when they were in large numbers in every home. Measuring cup - clearly at risk on the outside of the bowl, which will help not to be mistaken in the volume of the product. You can buy almost any store where they sell the dishes. Glasses give the most accurate measurement result. If the cook or his family loves sweets, then you can add more sugar. Or vice versa put less, then the dish will not be so cloying.

There are situations when you need to measure exactly one hundred grams of sugar. For example, when making cakes to order or when preparing pancake dough. A large amount of sugar in it will lead to the fact that the dough will start to stick to the pan and the pancake will be difficult to turn. Also, the exact amount of sugar must be added during preservation and cooking of jam. The human body does not need daily taste of sweets, and especially sugar. According to some data, a person eats about 100 - 140 grams of sugar per day, both in pure form (in tea) and in the form of cookies and sweets. This is about 1 kg per week, which is more than the norm, which is 30 - 50 grams per day. This is due to the fact that sugar is included in all food and most beverages. Sugar should be replaced, if possible, in whole or in part with fruit sugar, as it is much more beneficial.

A hundred times in their life, each housewife faced the problem that she could not cook a great dish just because in the recipe all the ingredients were indicated not in glasses and tablespoons, but in grams. Of course, grams can more accurately display the amount of food that is needed for cooking. But it’s very inconvenient for housewives, especially Russians, because our people usually don’t see the point in spending money on kitchen scales, which will take up most of their time and stand idle without dust. But, of course, there is still measuring utensils, but, again, not every housewife has it, yes, moreover, it happens that there are no signs on it for the right product. In this case, our housewives usually get upset and either look for a different recipe, or not at all, instead of a fine dish with meat, prepare fried potatoes with sausages, or instead of a cake they make simple shortbread cookies. But even if the recipe is specified in grams, there’s nothing wrong with that, you just need to know, for example, in the case of a cake, about 100 grams of sugar is how many tablespoons. And knowing such information, immediately the task of preparation becomes much easier and is limited to knowledge of the multiplication table, and since we have a good education, everyone knows it.

Why is it convenient to measure products not in grams, but with spoons and glasses

Our man has always strived to simplify everything, because it was invented to write recipes for Russian housewives using a glass (a 200 ml faceted glass was taken as the basis) and a table spoon or a teaspoon. And, it is worth noting, our hostesses appreciated this way and fell in love. But, after a while, recipes of dishes that are typical for other countries began to appear very abruptly and in large quantities, and there they did not use spoons and glasses and wrote everything in grams and kilograms. Try something to cook a new dish you want, but these grams, how to guess the amount of each ingredient.

Here, scientists came to the rescue of our housewives, who began to work on creating tables in which to see information about how much sugar, flour, buckwheat, and many other products fit into a tablespoon or glass. It was these tables that allowed our housewives to use glasses and spoons again, simply measuring the number of ingredients, because now they knew how many glasses or tablespoons of each product needed to be taken to get 100 grams, for example. But these tables are very large and not everyone can remember them, but many people do not even know about them. In the age of computer technology, sites were created on which these tables were placed in order to help every hostess who faced this problem. It is worth spending 5 minutes on the Internet, and you will know the mass of any product in one tablespoon or glass with an accuracy of 1 gram. Of course, you cannot guess grams per gram, but deviation from the recipe by 5 grams of one product, the taste of the dish will not spoil, unless it is salt or pepper, you need to be extremely careful with them.

So, how much sugar in one tablespoon

If you go online or find an old book that has tables of weights and measures, then by searching a little, you can determine that exactly 25 grams of sugar is placed in one tablespoon (with a slide). Therefore, having made no tricky calculations, using knowledge of the multiplication plate or using a calculator, you can find out that 100 grams of sugar is exactly 4 tablespoons. With this knowledge, you can now measure with high precision the amount of sugar you need to make, for example, lemon jam or cake cream. And using the tables of weights and measures, you can in a similar way calculate how many grams of other products fit into a tablespoon, such as flour.

From now on, you will no longer ask yourself the question: “100 grams of sugar is how many tablespoons,” making, for example, homemade ice cream according to the recipe, where all the ingredients are in grams.
