Okay, so I saw this question online about how much a cup of honey weighs, and I got curious. I mean, I use honey all the time, but I’d never actually thought about its weight. So, I decided to figure it out myself.
The Experiment Begins
First, I grabbed a measuring cup – you know, the standard kind you use for baking. I made sure it was totally clean and dry.
Next, I got my kitchen scale. It’s a pretty basic digital one, nothing fancy, but it gets the job done. I put the measuring cup on the scale and hit the “tare” button to zero it out. That way, I’d only be measuring the honey’s weight, not the cup’s.
Pouring the Honey
Then came the slightly tricky part – pouring the honey. Honey is sticky, right? I tried to pour it slowly and carefully to fill the cup right to the one-cup line. It took a bit of patience, and I definitely made a little mess, but I got there.
The Big Reveal
Once the cup was full, I checked the scale. And guess what? It read around 12 ounces. That is about 340 grams!
My Takeaway
- A cup of honey weighs significantly more than a cup of water (which is about 8 ounces).
- Honey is dense stuff!
- I now have a sticky measuring cup to clean.
It was a fun little experiment, and now I know something new. Plus, I got to use some of that honey in my tea afterward – win-win!
