Weight them out on a scale, then pour that into measuring cups.

But who has a kitchen scale with a precision of under a gram? All I have
is a diet scale that might just reach 1/4 oz (about 7g).

I use this website when converting volume to weight - works the other
way around as well. :-)

Flour is easiest, as I weigh it out right around 120 g/cup.

30g flour ~= 1/4 Cup

By measurement just now:

3g salt ~= 3/4 tsp
1g black peppr ~= 1/2 tsp (coarse cracked BP from a spice jar)
2g paprika ~= 1.25 tsp

I have a small scale that reads to 0.1g gram, and is probably accurate
to 0.2g, anyway.

Many thanks Dave. Just what I wanted. It's the first time that I have
had this gram problem and so far I have got by without getting a digital
scales. I can now make my stew http://tinyurl.com/2aemcg as per the
instructions.

I have a scale that takes up to 7000 gm in 1 gm increments.
Translated, that is up to 15 lb. in .1oz increments. Very expensive
at $35.

Best you can do is approximate... there are variables depending on
humidity, finenss of grind, and quality of ingredients... you really
can't come within repeating consistantly better than +/- 5g per
volume, if that close. If you know the weight you want why not just
weigh out each ingredient as you need it... I just know you gotta be a
certifiable pinhead, as is anyone taking your question seriously.

Um, if there are various measuring methods then there can't be any
accuracy regardless of anything... yours is what's known as PINHEAD
accuracy.

Nevertheless, I wonder how many people in the US have bothered to get so
precise a scale?

Well, I DO have a very precise grain scale for measuring gunpowder for
ammo reloading. ;-)

Never thought of using it for food... <g>

Reloading is a rather precise art, and a popular hobby.

Probably very few, but in our international and internet world it is a good
investment. I can think in metric too.

I survived for many years without a scale, but once I got one we find it can
be very useful and eliminates translation errors to volume.

So how do you read that chart....example allspice 12 grams is 1 fl
oz...but 1 cup (which is 8 fl oz) is marked as 100 grams while if paying
attention to fl oz it should be 12X8 = 96 grams??? Which is 2 tsp
difference.


almonds ground is the same...not consistant...I stopped there.

It's not possible to be consistant with ground/dry ingredients by
volume... even a moroon like Victor Sack O'
Shit should be able to figure that out... that's why ground/dry
ingredients are sold by weight.

Measure out those amounts and see how many teaspoons/fractions thereof
they equal. That's likely to be most accurate.

Yes. Thanks, but someone on this site who has an appropriate scales has
already done that for me and I am very grateful for his help.

Obviously, the numbers are both approximate and rounded-up in every
case. It would not make much sense otherwise, as there are too many
variables in play. I have been pointing this out for years already.
See, for example,
<http://groups.google.com/group/rec.food.cooking/msg/86039e1fc8a35833>.

By the way, all the conversions in the rfc cook.book had been done using
similar charts and approximations.

I use a chart developed by an accomplished expat cook here. Knowing that
the humidity on different days would affect the weights, she weighed the
same items day after day and averaged the weights.

00 flour, our fine flour, is 130 g per cup.
0 flour, an ordinary grind, is 128 g per cup.

I doubt that real accuracy is necessary for a stew as it might be for
baking.
