Measuring 500g of Quick-Cooking Oats in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of quick-cooking oats weighs 85g when measured dip and sweep, 500 Grams (500g) translates to 5.88 US cups (5 ¾ cups + 2 tbsp + ¼ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure 5 ¾ cups + 2 tbsp + ¼ tsp (94.12 tablespoons total) using dip and sweep technique. Scoop lightly into a dry measuring cup and sweep level without compacting. Because quick oats are cut into smaller pieces before rolling, their finer geometry yields approximately 85 grams per cup.
