| Standard (1×) | 200g (7.05 oz) | 1 ½ cups + 1 tbsp | 369.7 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 300g (10.58 oz) | 2 ⅓ cups | 554.5 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 400g (14.11 oz) | 3 ⅛ cups | 739.3 mL |

Measuring 200g of Cornstarch in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of cornstarch weighs 128g when measured spooned & leveled, 200 Grams (200g) translates to 1.56 US cups (1 ½ cups + 1 tbsp). By contrast, using the dip scooped measure (145g/cup — a 17g per-cup shift), 200g occupies 1 ⅓ cups + 2 ¼ tsp (1.38 cups).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ½ cups + 1 tbsp (25 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.
