Explanation

Calculation basis: the recorded grams-per-US-cup value.

Cornstarch uses a recorded reference of 112 grams per US cup in this dataset. Confidence: high. Source basis: King Arthur weight chart (¼ cup=28g)

Evidence status: reference-recorded. The source note is recorded; this does not certify every preparation or measurement condition. Particle size, aeration, settling, and whether the cup is scooped or spoon-filled can materially change the mass held by the same volume.

Questions & answers

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this use a US cup?

Yes. The factor is tied to the US cup definition (236.588 mL), not a metric cup.

Does sifting or settling change the result for Cornstarch?

Cornstarch keeps one reference basis here, but powder fineness, aeration, and settling can change how much fits in a spoon or cup. Keep the measuring method consistent for repeatable baking results.
