How to Measure 60 Grams in the Kitchen

  • For 60g of All-Purpose Flour (1/2 Cup): Fluff the flour, gently spoon it into a 1/2-cup dry measuring scoop (8 tablespoons), and level the top flat with the back of a knife.
  • For 60g of Water or Milk (1/4 Cup): Because 1 ml of water weighs 1 gram, 60 grams equals 60 ml—which fills a 1/4-cup liquid measure (4 tablespoons or 2 fluid ounces).
  • For 60g of Butter: Half a US stick of butter (4 tablespoons) weighs 56.7 grams. Cut at the 4-tablespoon mark and add a tiny 3/4-teaspoon sliver to reach 60 grams.
  • For 60g of Rolled Oats (2/3 Cup): Because 1 cup of rolled oats weighs 90 grams, 60 grams equals exactly 2/3 cup.
