"For good luck!" - so they say when the dishes are broken, accidentally dropped or broken specially during weddings and happy holidays. However, not everyone knows that this good tradition has deep roots. Its "founder" was Tsar Peter I, who gave life to the production of faceted glasses in Russia. Despite the fact that the first sample of "unbreakable" glassware brought by the Vladimir glassmaker Efim Smolin shattered during testing, the wise emperor saw a great future in it.

A bit of history

The irreplaceable household item acquired its current appearance back in 1945. Its author was V. I. Mukhina, the famous architect of the Soviet era, who created the sculptural group "Worker and Kolkhoz Woman". The faceted glass was called “Mukhinsky”.

Glasses of various sizes were produced - from 50 to 350 ml, but in cooking and everyday life, a 200-gram faceted glass with a smooth rim became more common. It was suitable for processing in dishwashers, became a generally accepted measure of volume and weight. The notorious "we can think for three" also owes itsthe origin of this container. 0.5 liters was ideally divided into 3 parts, if poured into a faceted glass up to the rim. At the same time, the question never arose among the population: "200 ml is how many glasses?"

In the old days, every housewife used to have accurate scales or measuring cups with marks on the outside of the product level and the corresponding volume and weight, allowing you to find out how many ml in a measuring cup of flour or sugar. The widespread use of faceted glasses has led to the fact that they have become the most common device for measuring the amount of ingredients for any dish. Having found out the amount of a particular product (for example, how many ml of milk in a glass), it was possible to start cooking. Such measuring utensils have become an indispensable attribute in the preparation of almost all daily dishes.

From theory to practice

Different bulk products with the same volume naturally have different weights. Some recipes contain folksy measures: 2 cups, 3 tablespoons, a pinch of s alt, while others contain the exact weight of products in grams. It is necessary to find out how many ml in a faceted glass of various cereals, sugar, milk, spices. It must be remembered that all products are poured or poured into a faceted glass up to the rim, and not to the top.

Initially, the capacity of any measuring vessel is determined by how many ml in 1 glass (cup, stack) of water. This is where its name comes from. 200- or 250-gram glass, 50-gram shot glass, etc. Weight of other products inthe same capacity will already be different, sometimes significantly.

For example, knowing that flour in a glass is 130 g, how to find out how many ml are in 1 glass of milk? To resolve such issues once and for all, special tables have been created that give housewives complete information about the weight and volume of the main bulk and liquid prescription components used in cooking. They accurately indicate how many ml in a glass and how many ml in a teaspoon and a tablespoon of various products.

It should be remembered that weight and volume are different concepts. How many ml in a faceted glass and how many g - you need to know exactly so as not to make an irreparable mistake in the cooking process. Below is a table of the weight capacity of an ordinary 200-gram faceted glass.

Fits in faceted glass

Products	Amount in grams	Number of Art. spoons
Water	200	10-11
Flour	130	5 slide
Sugar	180	7-8
Sugar. powder	160	7-8
Milk	200	10-11
Condensed milk	360	12
Sour cream	210	8
Vegetable oil	190	9-10
Ghee	190	9-10
Buckwheat	165	6, 5
Semolina	150	6
Wheat flour	130	5-6
Rice	180	7
Cocoa powder	130	8

The number of tablespoons, equated to weight, is indicated in order to accurately add half a glass, 1/4 cup indicated in the recipes. Knowing how many ml and grams are in a glass, by simple calculations, you can add the right small amount with a spoon. In the same way, you can increase as well as decrease the required amount of additives.

Important moment

Do not confuse the glasses themselves with each other. In an ordinary thin glass, otherwise called a tea glass, the volume is 50 ml more.

This small difference in volume can lead to a sad result in such a responsible business as cooking. You can get a dish that is completely unusable by simply taking another glass as a measuring glass. You need to know exactly how many ml of the desired product are in a glass.

Foreign recipes

Recently, the interest of our compatriots in some national cuisines and cooking features in other countries has increased.

If you periodically use recipes taken from foreign magazines or Internet resources, you need to know that the main measure adopted there is a cup. It is equivalent in volume to a thin glass. How many ml are in a glass, so much is in it - 250. Measures of weight and volume abroad are alsoothers and should be known.
