Explanation

Use 240 g per US cup as the reference when converting half and half from cups to grams.

Recipe scaling stays tied to the US cup standard (236.588 mL) rather than to mixed cup charts. Half and Half can vary slightly with fat level and temperature, so the page keeps one explicit basis for consistent kitchen reference.

Method basis: cup-to-weight conversion anchored to the US customary cup (≈236.6 mL).
Applied formula: grams = cups × 240.
Consistency rule: snapshot, calculator, FAQ, and table use the same ingredient-specific basis.
