Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 0.5 cups of evaporated milk
- 1 cup of evaporated milk = 252g
- 0.5 × 252 = 126g
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Mental Math Shortcut
Half measures: take the weight of 1 cup (252g) and divide by 2.
Measuring Tip
Liquid densities vary: oils weigh less per cup than water, while syrups and honey weigh more. This is why ingredient-specific conversions matter even for liquids.
