Quick Kitchen Hack: Measure Ingredients with a Highball Glass

As a seasoned home cook, I've turned to everyday items like a highball glass (or long drink glass) when a scale or measuring cup isn't available. It's a reliable way to portion key ingredients accurately.

One standard highball glass holds approximately:

  • 200 ml water
  • 120 g flour
  • 180 g uncooked rice
  • 150 g sugar

For the best baking results, precise proportions matter—stick to a scale or measuring cup whenever possible. This tip is ideal for quick fixes!
