| Standard (1×) | 450g (15.87 oz) | 1 ¾ cups + 2 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp | 449.2 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 675g (23.81 oz) | 2 ¾ cups + 1 tbsp + 1 ¾ tsp | 673.8 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 900g (31.75 oz) | 3 ¾ cups + 2 ¼ tsp | 898.4 mL |
| Triple Batch (3×) | 1350g (47.62 oz) | 5 ⅔ cups + 1 ½ tsp | 1347.7 mL |
Measuring 450g of Water in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of water weighs 237g when measured poured liquid, 450 Grams (450g) translates to 1.90 US cups (1 ¾ cups + 2 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 1 ¾ cups + 2 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp (30.38 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).
Source note: NIST Standard Reference Data; 1 US customary cup = 236.588 mL = 236.6 g pure water at 20°C
