What's measurement are cups in grams or ounces purlease???

God I don't know. I would guess there would be about 200 grams in a cup?

I found this online so don't know how accurate it is:

It depends what you have in the cup. A cup is a measure of volume, but a gram is a measure of mass.

Depending on the density of the material you are going to have in the cup, the weight in grams of the material will vary. For example, if you fill the cup with lead, the cup will weigh much more than if you fill with feathers. This is why the cup is considered an unnecessary value of measurement, created by America to make things simpler for people who cook by an average, rather than precision.

This question would be similar to asking how much a 6-foot person weighs. It depends on the person, of course. A cup of water will weigh more than a cup of flour.

For cooking, you can find tables that convert cups to grams and vice versa for a variety of food. Below is a link with a table for standard cooking ingredients. Make sure you look carefully and scroll down to find the correct conversion table specific ingredient you are using! The conversion is different for each ingredient!

Here are a few common foods and their conversion from cups to grams (notice how much the weight varies!):
Granulated sugar: 1 cup = 200 grams
Brown sugar: 1 cup, packed = 220 grams
Sifted white flour: 1 cup = 125 grams
White rice, uncooked: 1 cup = 185 grams
White rice, cooked: 1 cup = 175 grams
Butter: 1 cup = 227 grams
Almonds, slivered: 1 cup = 108 grams
Oil: 1 cup = 224 grams
Maple syrup: 1 cup = 322 grams
Milk, non-fat: 1 cup = 245 grams
Milk, sweetened condensed: 306 grams
Broccoli, flowerets: 1 cup = 71 grams
Raisins: 1 cup, packed = 165 grams
Milk, dry: 1 cup = 68 grams
Yogurt: 1 cup = 245 grams
Water: 1 cup = 236 grams
Confectioners sugar: 1 C = 110 g
Cocoa: 1 C = 125 g

In that we're in a discussion of volume - cups and fluid ounces, you've asked a difficult question.

If you're measuring water, the one ounce is equal to 29.57353 ml, so 40 oz would be 1.183 liters. Since water weighs 1 gram per ml, or 1 kg per liter, then you'll have 1.183 kg, or 1,183 grams.

If, on the other hand, you are measuring anything else - oil, milk, flour, etc. then you need to have one more piece of information before you can switch from volume to weight. You must know the specific gravity of the substance. An ounce of oil, for example, weighs less than an ounce of water (that's why oil floats on water).

200 grams = one cup

Okay, one cup equals 236 cubic centimeters. However, a cup of milk will weigh a different number of grams than a cup of cod liver oil. But to cut to the quick, asking how many grams in a cup is like asking how many pounds in a gallon. You are using two entirely different types of measurement, one of weight, the other of volume, to ask the question. A given volume of space filled with two different types of materials will have two different weights. Also, remember that in the more logical English system of measurement, a fluid ounce and a dry ounce mean two different things.

1 cup = 240 ml = 8 fl oz = 1/2 pint (liq) = 16 tbsp = 48 tsp, all measurements regarding kitchen and cooking are standard and do not vary depending on the material.

To answer you question 240ml = 240 cc = 240 grams

Rubbish!!!!!!! A cup is a cup! If it doesn't look right or taste right just add more or add more of the other thing to counter act it! I used to stick rigorously to recipes but there at so many things that just naturally vary the recipe, so I reckon once you're fairly right you'll be grand- such and Irish view!

Ah but I never know what size cup they do be talking about. I mean the cups in our house are practically pint jugs (and in my brothers case they are actually a pint jug)

I know you're going to say once the same size cup is used for all the measures it doesn't matter but still

I dunno! In fairness I think most recipes are now giving grams and ml's for measurements, but things like half a cup of rice per person and so on, seem to work grand- always err on the side of more for nice ingredients and less for not so nice ingredients- I'm not sure I know of any not so nice ingredients - so I suppose ad a bit extra of everything.

i have cup measures the 1 cup has 250 mls on so find a cup with 250 ml capacity and off you go

gives good conversions
you can pick up cup measures cheaply , got a set in tesco for under a fiver

Don't worry about measurements so much. If there was anything I learned in Italy it was that precise recipes are not as fun as just trying things out. I know it's a little tougher to do that in baking since certain things really effect the final outcome but I still like to stray from recipes and just try out stuff.
