Formula and Step-by-Step
- Start with 5.02 ounces of cornmeal
- Convert ounces to grams: 5.02 × 28.35 = 142.31g
- 1 cup of cornmeal = 150g
- 142.31g ÷ 150g/cup = 0.95 cups
The same formula works for any amount. Multiply (or divide) by the density, then convert units as needed.
Measuring Tip
Pour grains into the measuring cup and level off. Do not shake or tap, as this settles the grains and increases the weight.
