If the recipe says “1/4 cup” or “3/4 cup”, don’t you wonder how much you should put?
If you know the milliliter and gram notation, you can get a rough idea.
So this time, I will explain in detail the amount and weight of 1/4 cup and 3/4 cup.
- What is a quarter cup? What is the amount? What about 3/4 cups?
- How about converting a quarter cup into a tablespoon?
- Correct weighing of 1/4 cup and 3/4 cup
- How many grams does a quarter cup or three quarter cup weigh? Does it change with seasonings?

What is a quarter cup? What is the amount? What about half of3/4 cups?
A quarter cup is a measuring cup used for cooking divided into four equal parts.
A measuring cup is a tool for measuring the “volume” of a product, and one cup is 200 ml (cc).
A quarter cup is 50 ml (cc) because it divides it into four equal parts. For a three-quarter cup, it’s 150 ml (cc).
How about converting a quarter cup into a tablespoon?
The capacity of a tablespoon is 15 ml (cc) and a teaspoon is 5 ml (cc), so a quarter cup is exactly the same amount as 3 tablespoons and 1 teaspoon.
A quarter cup can be measured with a tablespoon and a teaspoon.
When it comes to three-quarters, you have to put many tablespoons, so it is recommended to measure them together in a measuring cup.
Correct weighing of 1/4 cup and 3/4 cup
There is a little trick to measuring a quarter cup or a 3/4 cup correctly. There are some differences between “liquid” and “solid”, so I will explain them in order.
How to weigh a quarter cup or three quarter cups of liquid
Place the measuring cup on a flat surface
Please note that if the place is tilted, it will not be measured accurately.
Insert up to “1/4” or “3/4” scale
Be careful not to overfill it from the beginning as it will be fine-tuned to match the scale.
Adjust by looking at the scale horizontally from the side of the cup
You can adjust it by adding it little by little.
Look horizontally with your eyes at the same height as the scale. If you look at it from an angle, it will be misaligned.
How to weigh a quarter cup or three quarter cups of powder
Place the measuring cup on a flat surface
Please note that if the place is tilted, it will not be measured accurately.
Insert near the “1/4” or “3/4” scale
Add ingredients and seasonings softly. Note that the amount changes when you push it in.
Flatten the surface
Shake the measuring cup lightly or tap the sides with your hands to flatten the surface.
Look at the scale horizontally from the side of the cup and make fine adjustments.
Gently shake and add little by little to make fine adjustments.
Adjust the powder little by little when viewed from the side. The powder is piled up and the scale is difficult to read, so please try to put it in while flattening it.
How many grams does a quarter cup or three quarter cup weigh? Does it change with seasonings?
Measuring cups measure volume, not weight. The weight varies depending on the seasoning.so it is useful to know the weight of each.
