Example: using polenta in a recipe
If a recipe asks for 1 1/2 cups of polenta, that is 1.5 x 163 g, or about 244 g. If a recipe gives 200 g and you only have cups, divide 200 by 163 to get about 1 1/4 cups.
How to measure polenta
Grains, flakes and meals vary by brand and by how finely they are processed. Pour the polenta into the cup without tapping and level it. Check whether the recipe means cooked or uncooked, because cooked weighs far more.
Where these weights come from
Weights follow the King Arthur Baking ingredient weight chart (rounded). Brands and measuring methods vary, so treat results as close estimates.
