How to Measure Ketchup Correctly

Ketchup should be measured in a liquid measuring cup, though its thick consistency means it pours slowly. For accuracy, use a kitchen scale. Ketchup's viscosity can vary by brand, so weight measurements are more reliable than volume.

Understanding Ketchup Measurements

Ketchup is a sweet, tangy tomato condiment. One cup of ketchup weighs approximately 270 grams. It's denser than many liquids due to its sugar and tomato content, making accurate measurement important for recipes where ketchup is a key ingredient.

Common Uses in Baking & Cooking

Ketchup is used as a condiment, in sauces, and as a cooking ingredient. It's essential in meatloaf, barbecue sauce, and many Asian-inspired dishes. Ketchup adds sweetness, acidity, and umami to recipes.

Storage and Handling Tips

Store ketchup in the refrigerator after opening, though it can be kept at room temperature if used quickly. It has a long shelf life and typically lasts 6-12 months after opening. If it develops an off smell or changes colour, discard it.
