How do I Convert Grams to Cups in Cooking Pasta?
- 1). Consult your recipe for the amounts of the ingredients in grams.
- 2). Multiply the number of grams for each ingredient by 0.035273 to find the number of ounces. For example, if your recipe calls for 100 grams of semolina flour, multiply to find: 100 grams x 0.035273 = 3.5273 ounces.
- 3). Place a measuring cup onto your digital scale and press the "Tare" button to subtract the weight of the cup so the reading is 0 ounces.
- 4). Add your ingredient to the measuring cup on the scale until the scale reads the number of ounces calculated from the grams required in the recipe. For instance, pour flour into the measuring cup until the display reads 3.5273 ounces.
- 5). Look at the marks on the side of the cup to determine the number of cups for that ingredient. The amount will depend on your measuring technique and whether your pressed the flour into the cup, sifted it or poured it.
- 6). Write the number of cups next to the ounces in your recipe for future reference the next time you make pasta.
- 7). Repeat the process with all of your ingredients as water, flour and dry pasta all have different densities, meaning that a cup of each has a different weight in ounces.
