Can Sizes and Raw Equals How Much Cooked

by Ruby Hawk on Aug 14, 2007 with 2 Comments

The general rule is when you need a certain size can for your recipe, you can’t find it. Here are some guidelines, that shows you how much a particular can contains.

  • Ordinary small tuna or minced clam can (6 1/2 to 7 ounces) just under 1 cup
  • Ordinary soup can size (10 1/2 to 12 ounces) = 1 1/4 cup
  • Slightly larger size = 1 pound, known as # 303= about 2 cups
  • Larger still = (20 ounces) known as # 2 size= 2 1/2 cups
  • Larger still (29 ounces) known as #2 1/2 =3 1/2 cups

Raw Foods equal how much cooked:

  • 1 cup raw rice = 3 1/2 cups cooked
  • 1 cup raw wild rice = 3 1/2 to 4 cups cooked
  • Macaroni doubles itself
  • Noodles grow a third
  • 1 1/4 pounds unshelled walnuts = 2 cups chopped walnuts
  • 2 cups grated cheese firmly packed = 1/2 pound
  • 1 cup (1/2 pint) whipping cream =2 1/2 cup whipped
