Good afternoon! prompt please, in recipes "one cup of a flour" or "one stick of oil" often meets. I don't understand, how many it in grams? how it is correct to measure? all have different cups. How you measure? help council please.

It depends. Look at your bag of flour at the nutrition label and see what it says. I think Gold Medal AP flour weighs 30 grams for 1/4 cup, which is considered a serving. So 1 cup would weigh 120 grams. That's an American cup. Other countries, like Australia, has different size cups than Americans do.

A stick of oil? Do you mean a stick of butter? A butter stick, in USA, weighs 4 ounces. You can google a conversion to get grams.

Hello Olga, welcome to the forum. A conversion chart is helpful to you but a food scale that weighs in both grams and ounces is also extremely helpful and a more accurate way to measure. If you have a chart (google that, as suggested by Spooky) and a food scale, you'll be in good shape.

Thanks for recommendations! tell please, and a sugar glass it how many? in grams or ounces? How you weigh? Or can be on a site there is a converter? I looked for - didn't find. Prompt please.

Not sure what you mean by a sugar glass? A cup of sugar?

Maybe you could copy and paste the American (?) recipe you are trying to convert and we'll try and help.

I found this chart online. It tells the weights of many baking ingredients. Does this help you at all?
