Batch Scaling Around 150g Water
| Batch Scale | Weight (g / oz) | US Cups & Spoons | Metric (mL) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Half Batch (0.5×) | 75g (2.65 oz) | ¼ cup + 1 tbsp + ¼ tsp | 74.9 mL |
| Standard (1×) | 150g (5.29 oz) | ½ cup + 2 tbsp + ½ tsp | 149.7 mL |
| 1.5× Batch | 225g (7.94 oz) | ¾ cup + 3 tbsp + ½ tsp | 224.6 mL |
| Double Batch (2×) | 300g (10.58 oz) | 1 ¼ cups | 299.5 mL |
| Triple Batch (3×) | 450g (15.87 oz) | 1 ¾ cups + 2 tbsp + 1 ¼ tsp | 449.2 mL |
Measuring 150g of Water in the Kitchen
Because 1 US Customary Cup (236.6 mL) of water weighs 237g when measured poured liquid, 150 Grams (150g) translates to 0.63 US cups (½ cup + 2 tbsp + ½ tsp).
Without a kitchen scale, measure ½ cup + 2 tbsp + ½ tsp (10.13 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).
