Ingredient weights per cup - bjcotton - 07-11-2008
I'm looking for a website that gives weight per cup of things. I've got to have a cup of sliced leeks and I don't know how to measure them. I'll let you know if I find one. If anyone already has one, please let me know.

1 l b. = 2 cups trimmed, copped; and 1 cup cooked
Check out your Food Lover's Companion - it's all in there.

Try this or this. The first is a little more flexible, but it's good to check each, since they sometimes differ. When they do, I tend to trust the first one more, but may split the difference, depending upon the ingredient and how it's being used.

1 l b. = 2 cups
2 cups = 1 pint
So it's true then, that old saying "A Pints a Pound the World Around" ???

Hi, Empress Cis, that's what I was told in school, for whatever it's worth!

hmmm, I learned in school only milk, eggs and water held true in that.

Yep. It depends upon the density of the ingredients. Certainly a pint of meringue, or the like, would not weigh a pound. LOL!
