There is always an alternative
It happens that in some cases there are no tablespoons at hand or it is more convenient to get the required amount of sugar with a glass or a teaspoon. How to measure 100 grams of sugar in teaspoons and a glass?
It is known that there are a huge number of different glasses, and each of them has its own volume. The most common and widely used types of these glasses are faceted and tea glasses.
A regular faceted glass usually has a volume of 200 ml, and a tea glass of 250 ml can be used to measure a sufficiently large amount of sugar. Such dishes are much more convenient in comparison with small spoons, especially if the sugar in the dish should be added in large quantities.
In order to properly measure and fill 100 grams of sweet products using a faceted glass, you need to take 1/2 of this glass.
Also, to get 100 grams of sugar, using a 250 ml tea cup, it is necessary to measure 1/3 of the glass.
To fill 100 grams of sweet product with a teaspoon, you need to measure 12 tableware. One teaspoon, filled with a slide, holds 8 grams of sweet product, and without a slide it contains 6 grams of this sweet product.
In order to measure the sugar, using a teaspoon, you have to spend a little more time. However, this will not affect the accuracy of the calculations.
Thus, even without special kitchen scales, you can easily measure and gain 1/10 kilogram of sugar using the available tools. It is best to measure tablespoons to measure 0.1 kg of sugar.
In addition, teaspoons are great in order to collect a small amount of sweet product. In any case, you can always find a way out of the difficulty by connecting logic and using available tools.
