Units conversion : cl to grams
One of my recipe tell me to add 25cl of cream. I only have a weighing scale to measure it. How many grams should I add?
If it was water it would be 250g and cream is quite heavier isn't it?
Best Answer
Rather than try to determine the weight of the cream do the following.
- Measure out 250g of water in your container.
- Mark the waterline on your container with a marker or tape
- Measure your cream based on your mark
This way you don't need to know the weight of your cream, you simply need to find a container with the proper volume.

Answer 2
According to the charts at Alicia Noelle Jones, the density of cream is very, very close to that of water. Depending on the type of cream and the temperature at which you compare (remember, water is densest at about 4 degrees C), the density of cream varies from about 0.978 to 1.021 that of water.
As you can see, the largest variation is about 2%. Unless your recipe or application is spectacularly sensitive, just measure it as if it were water.
Answer 3
In the kitchen, you can safely assume - If it is liquid then 1g = 1ml
The recipes use these "rounded" values, because they are convenient, not because they are necesarily the best anyway. Maybe your cake would be better with 263.7ml of milk, but who the heck would remember such numbers.
Also, since in Europe cream is often sold in 250ml packages, I assume you are from US. If it is the case, you can safely use - 250ml = 1cup (1US cup is 236ml precisely, roughly 5% less than 250ml)
