FAQ
- How much does one cup of Sweet Baby Ray's Original BBQ sauce weigh?
- At a density of 1.217 g/ml, one US cup (237 ml) of Sweet Baby Ray's Original weighs approximately 288 grams, which is noticeably heavier than water due to its high sugar and tomato-paste content.
- Why is Sweet Baby Ray's thicker than many other barbecue sauces?
- Sweet Baby Ray's relies on a heavy proportion of high-fructose corn syrup and tomato paste, which raise the solids content and push the density to 1.217 g/ml, giving it a sticky, paste-like body that clings to ribs and wings.
- Can I substitute Sweet Baby Ray's by weight in a recipe calling for a different BBQ sauce?
- You can, but note that Sweet Baby Ray's at 1.217 g/ml is denser than vinegar-forward sauces like Open Pit (1.158 g/ml), so the same volume will weigh more and deliver a sweeter, thicker result in marinades and glazes.
