| 1 cup | 238 g | 8.4 oz |
| 1 1/2 cups | 357 g | 12.6 oz |

Each row is USDA’s 1-cup weight (238 g) times the amount. A tablespoon is 1/16 cup and a teaspoon is 1/48 cup, so 1 tbsp = 238 ÷ 16 = 14.9 g. Ounces are grams ÷ 28.3495. USDA also weighed small measures on their own (1 tbsp: 15 g). Those can differ from the cup-based rows by a few tenths of a gram because each weight is rounded.
Heavy cream grams to cups

| 25 g | 0.11 | 1 tbsp + 2 tsp |
| 50 g | 0.21 | 3 tbsp + 1 tsp |

| 200 g | 0.84 | 3/4 cup + 1 tbsp + 1 1/4 tsp |
| 250 g | 1.05 | 1 cup + 2 1/2 tsp |
| 500 g | 2.1 | 2 cups + 1 tbsp + 1 3/4 tsp |
Cups = grams ÷ 238. The last column rounds to the nearest 1/4 teaspoon using a standard set of cups and spoons.
