How many grams in a faceted glass 200 ml

The first faceted glass with a smooth edge was created in Gus-Khrustalny at the glass factory in 1943. Although there is a myth that it was invented by sailors under Peter I, so that the glass would not roll off the table during pitching.

Initially, glasses were produced in various sizes – from 50 ml to 350 ml, but over time, a faceted glass with a volume of 200 ml became the most popular and took a firm place in the everyday life of a Soviet citizen. Street vending machines poured mineral water into these glasses, grandmothers measured seeds in the markets, and conductors poured tea on trains. The faceted glass has entered our lives so tightly that, without noticing it, many used (and use!) It every day when cooking.

Volume and weight are different concepts. For example, milk is heavier than flour, and honey is heavier than milk. Therefore, the number of products in a faceted glass will turn out to be different. In order to properly prepare a dish according to the recipe, we tell you how many grams of food fit in one faceted glass and share measuring tables that will be useful when cooking.

Bulk products

It is important to remember that since Soviet times, usually in the recipe, which is adapted for Our Country, not a 300 ml measuring glass is indicated, but a simple faceted glass. The volume of a faceted glass has two types of measurements: up to the rim, on which the edges end – 200 ml – and up to a smooth edge – 250 ml. In recipes, most often a glass refers to the volume of a faceted glass up to the rim.

The process of measuring products of different density has distinctive features. Bulk products with equal volume have different weights, which makes it difficult to measure them. To correctly measure the weight of bulk products in a faceted glass, you need to know a few simple rules:

1. When measuring bulk products, it is not necessary to shake and compact them. Just pouring is enough.
2. Groats are measured only in dry form.
3. When measuring bulk products in a faceted glass, it must be filled no higher than the rim or edge.

The tables of measures of weight of bulk products, which are given below, come to the rescue. With measuring charts, you can make no mistake and use exactly the amount of flour or sugar that your recipe calls for.

Sugar (sand)

Wheat flour

Rye flour

Salt

rice

Buckwheat grain

Pearl barley

Barley grits

Semolina

Cocoa powder

Soda

Lemon acid

Powdered sugar

Starch

Poppy

Millet

beans

Split peas

Oat flakes

Ground crackers

Raisins

soft foods

Soft products, like bulk products, can have different weights with the same volume. Moreover, a change in the main characteristics of the same ingredient also affects its mass. For example, an increase in moisture makes cottage cheese heavier, and fermented sour cream has less weight than fresh. When filling a faceted glass with soft and thick mixtures, they should be applied with a spoon to completely fill the glass.

Cream

Honey

Curd

Condensed milk

Jam

Berry puree

Butter

Mayonnaise

Tomato paste

Yogurt

liquid products

Most professional recipes in the description use large portions, which are more convenient to measure with a faceted glass. This is especially true for liquid products, which also have different weights depending on density. Nevertheless, the process of measuring liquid products is the most straightforward. They just need to be poured into a container – to the rim or to the edge.

Water

Vinegar

Kefir

Melted animal butter

Milk

Sunflower oil

Fruit juice

Cream

Berries

Even knowing the amount of sugar or honey in a faceted glass, it is quite difficult to understand how much raspberry or black currant is in it, since they have different densities and fill the glass with large air holes. The weight of berries is influenced by a large number of indicators, including ripeness, moisture and density. The measuring chart will help to simplify the measurement of their weight.

Black currant

Raspberry

Cherry

Cranberries

Strawberries

Blackberry

Expert Council

Artem Derevyanko, chef at the BulvarCafe restaurant, Volgograd:

– Of course, a faceted glass in the kitchen is indispensable. It not only adds shades of the Soviet era to the aesthetics of the interior, but also acts as a universal measuring device due to its edges. And its special unbreakable properties allow this rarity to be preserved for several generations.

Before measuring with a faceted glass, you need to make sure that it is perfectly clean. If during the time spent on the shelf, the glass is very dirty, you can steam it in a mixture of salt, vinegar and potato broth. Also, a solution of warm water and soda will clean the faceted glass well from bored dirt. And if you add vinegar and salt to the water during washing, the glass will acquire a pleasant shine. To add shine to a glass, a proportion of four teaspoons of vinegar and two tablespoons of salt is usually used.

If a faceted glass is not washed after measuring melted animal fat or vegetable oil, mustard powder will help clean the walls. It is enough just to wipe the walls of the glass with it.

Often, after washing, the glasses are placed in each other, which can cause them to stick together. If this happens, then you need to put the glasses in a container with hot water, while putting ice in the topmost one. Due to the temperature difference, they will quickly unstick.

These little tips will help keep the cut glasses in your kitchen clean and tidy. So that the irreplaceable glass is ready for use at any time when it is needed.
