How this conversion works

Milliliters measure volume while grams measure weight. Because Ketchup has a density of 1.27 g/mL, 10 mL weighs 13 g — not 10 g as it would for water. This converter uses the real density of Ketchup so every measurement is accurate.

Measurement notes

Values are rounded to the nearest whole gram. Actual weight can vary slightly with compaction, temperature, and brand. For precision baking, a kitchen scale is always more reliable than volume measurements.

FAQ

Should I stir Ketchup before a mL reading?
Yes. Stirring collapses air pockets and makes the mL reading reflect real volume. Skip stirring and you read ~10 % high.
What if oil has separated from Ketchup in the jar?
Stir it back in before measuring. The total jar mass hasn't changed, but separation would bias any volume measure — scoop after a full stir to match the table.
