How do I know how much 1 cup is in grams? I tried googling 1

>>9048786
you could fill a cup with mango then weight it
be sure to tare your scales

>>9048786
motherfucker do you understand the concept of density

cup = volume
gram = weight
they are not equivalent with non-liquids

>>9048825
they're not equivalent with many liquids either e.g. milk or tomato soup
don't confuse our man

>>9048875
a cup of tomato soup has a direct gram amount, as does milk.
Although yes that was probably misleading because neither of those volumes are equal to the other.

Wolfram alpha is perfect for this.

243 Grams.

Yeah fuck those weird serving sizes. I can live with teaspoon and tablespoon but everything else is shit. Go provide grams you imperial idiot.

Having to measure out mango, for any reason, rather than actually knowing how to cook, and flavor your food.

There's a reason why 'murrica has the best food on the planet, and it has nothing to do with having grown up with a different, arbitrary, measuring standard.

Are you fucking retarded? You think all milk or tomato sauces would have the same density?

>>9048786
If someone tells you to measure large solids in volume, just use however much feels right. You're not doing much chemistry with any ingredient like that. Anything within a few hundred percent usually turns out fine.

And was using it wrong all these years, calculating derivatives and shit

Just get a 250ml-ish cup for burgerland recipes, converting to gram is too much trouble. Also one 250g pack of butter is about two "sticks"
