Cups-to-Grams Printable Chart

100+ ingredients with exact gram weights per cup, tbsp and tsp. The reference card every cook needs.

Proteins

  • Cooked vs raw weight changes moisture; pick the correct form when converting.
  • Dice size affects cup measurements—weight is more reliable for proteins.

Storage & tools

  • Store in a cool, dry pantry (under 21 °C / 70 °F) away from direct sunlight.
  • Use airtight containers to keep humidity out — dry ingredients gain 1–2 % mass in humid air.
  • Rotate stock: first in, first out, even when the product looks unchanged.
  • Check best-by dates; potency can fade before the product looks old.

Keep refrigerated submerged in water; change water daily once opened.

FAQ

Should I press it?
Pressing removes water, improving browning and texture—10–20 minutes is enough.
