Batch Scaling Around 200g Water
| Batch Scale | Weight (g / oz) | US Cups & Spoons | Metric (mL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 100g (3.53 oz) | ⅓ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp | 99.8 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 200g (7.05 oz) | ¾ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp | 199.7 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 300g (10.58 oz) | 1 ¼ cups | 299.5 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 400g (14.11 oz) | 1 ⅔ cups + 1 tsp | 399.3 mL |
| Triple Batch (3×) | 600g (21.16 oz) | 2 ½ cups + 1 ½ tsp | 599 mL |
Measuring 200g of Water in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of water weighs 237g when measured poured liquid, 200 Grams (200g) translates to 0.84 US cups (¾ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ¾ cup + 1 tbsp + 1 ½ tsp (13.5 tablespoons total) using poured liquid technique. Place a liquid measuring cup on a flat countertop and read the water meniscus at eye level. Standard water has a pure density of 1.00 g/mL, making 1 US cup exactly 237 grams (or 236.6g).
