Rules of Thumb



Most foods have about the same density as water, and will fit the conversion tables above. Foods that float are less dense; those that sink, more dense. Here are some common approximations:



1 cu in cake = 1/10 oz



1 oz cake = 10 cu in



1 cu in bread = 1/10 oz



1 oz bread = 10 cu in



1 T flour = 1/3 oz



1 oz flour = 3 T



1 c flour = 5.3 oz



1 oz flour = 1/5 c



1 lb flour = 3 c



1 t sugar = 1/6 oz



1 T sugar = 1/2 oz



1 oz sugar = 2 T



1 c sugar = 7.5 oz



1 lb sugar = 2-1/8 c
