Water — Frequently Asked Questions
237 grams of water is exactly 1 US cup. The US cup is defined as 236.6ml and water is approximately 1g per ml, giving 236.6g per cup, commonly rounded to 237g.
Cold water (4°C / 39°F) is at its maximum density of exactly 1.000 g/ml. At room temperature (20°C) water is 0.998 g/ml. At boiling point (100°C) water is 0.958 g/ml. For cooking purposes, these differences are negligible.
1 litre of water weighs exactly 1,000g (1 kilogram) at 4°C. At room temperature it is approximately 998g. For all practical cooking purposes, 1 litre = 1,000g = 4.23 US cups.
The US cup (236.6ml) is an older unit based on the US customary system. The metric cup used in Australia, Canada, and some other countries is exactly 250ml. Recipes from different countries may use different cup sizes — always check which standard a recipe uses.
Almost. Broth or stock is approximately 237–240g per cup, essentially the same as water since the dissolved solids and fats have negligible effect on density at typical concentrations.
Water hydrates flour proteins (glutenin and gliadin) to form gluten, which gives bread its structure and chew. Bread hydration (water–flour ratio) dramatically affects the crumb: low hydration (60%) = dense, tight crumb; high hydration (80%+) = open, holey crumb like ciabatta.
