In cooking recipes, ingredients are often listed in grams. For example, you want to take 200 g of flour or 7 g of soda. Accuracy, of course, is a good thing, it is not for nothing that they call it "the politeness of kings." But how to measure the right amount of products if there are no electronic scales at hand?
Even more difficult if the components are indicated "by eye". How much is a "incomplete glass of milk", "a pinch of ground pepper" or "a soda at the tip of a knife"? The dishes and the eye are different for everyone, and measuring instruments for determining the exact weight are not in every kitchen.
How to deal with a "salt pood"?
One of the most sought after ingredients in cooking is ordinary table salt. It is this component that needs accurate dosage.
You will put a little - tasteless, you will overdo it - and even worse, the dish is irreparably spoiled.
The easiest way to measure a teaspoon. And if the weight is specified up to a gram, how to get out of the situation? It's very simple, you need to know how many grams of salt in a teaspoon (standard)?
It would seem elementary, but few people know the answer to this question. Moreover, salt is different grinding - large and small. Yes, and you can put it in different ways - flush with the edges or with the addition - "with a slide."
How many "hang in grams"
It is easy to remember that in a normal teaspoon contains 7 grams of bulk salt crystals. This is if it is medium or small.
The same “with the top” device will “pull” by 10 grams. Coarse crystals are heavier and larger. In a teaspoon they fit less, only 5 grams.
It should be borne in mind that recipes usually use the default dosage "with a slide".
In another embodiment, usually indicate "spoon without top", "incomplete spoon" or just "1 tsp." How much is it in mass - you already know.
Almost all types of dough put salt to improve its taste and structure.
Often in the baking recipe does not indicate a measure of the volume of bulk products, and weight. Knowing how much product in a teaspoon, you will never spoil a cake, biscuit or delicious pie.
In the boa - 38 parrots, and how many teaspoons in the dining room?
What to do if in the composition of the products the amount of salt is indicated in tablespoons, and you have only tea at your fingertips? Agree, in life the most unforeseen situations are possible.
The same flat cutlery holds 30 grams of spice, without which life seems fresh. The weight of large crystals, respectively, is 20 g.
Thus, it is easy to count that the weight of a tablespoon of salt is 3 teaspoons (10 + 10 + 10 = 30).
For clarity, we present a table. It can be saved and used as needed.
Salt fine or medium grinding:
|
Weight | Volume | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| St.l. with slide | St.l. no slide | Hl with riding | Hl without top | |
| 30 g | 25 g | 10 g | 7 g | |
Coarse salt:
| Weight
| Volume | |
|---|---|---|
| St.l. | Hl | |
| 20 g | 5 g | |
Knowing the general proportions, it is easy to determine any number of the most common spices. For example, you need to measure 2 g.
We have fine salt, which means in a teaspoon - 10 g.
10:2=5
Therefore, we take 1/5 part.
Such a simple everyday cunning, will help not to think too much with spices. Moreover, according to the proverb, "peresal is on the back and not salted on the table." The shortage is easy to fix, but the surplus is almost impossible.
All the tricks with the addition of water or rice in a linen bag, which should draw out excess salt - are not very effective. It is better to comply with the measure immediately.
