Measuring 175g of Cornstarch in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of cornstarch weighs 128g when measured spooned & leveled, 175 Grams (175g) translates to 1.37 US cups (1 ⅓ cups + 1 ¾ tsp). By contrast, using the dip scooped measure (145g/cup — a 17g per-cup shift), 175g occupies 1 cup + 3 tbsp + 1 tsp (1.21 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ⅓ cups + 1 ¾ tsp (21.88 tablespoons total) using spooned & leveled technique. Cornstarch packs easily into a solid cake when pressed; scoop gently with a spoon and sweep level with a straightedge.
