Most containers will give the approximate number of servings, as well as the number of servings in the container. Say the size of the box is 16 oz. and the number of servings is 8,with serving size being 1/2 cup. With this you can figure the results you need. In this case, 16 oz. (total weight);8 servings per container; 1/2 cup per serving. So, if there is 8 servings in 16 oz. then 2 oz. is a serving, and 2 oz. equils 1/2 cup. This means that there are 4 cups in l6 oz. so 8 oz. would be 2 cups.
I hope I have made this clear (I have taken these number amounts from my box of elbow macaroni. so I feel it is pretty accurate.
Except that serving size is for the cooked product which is expanded. A cup of cooked macaroni is less pasta than a cup of uncooked.
all I WANT TO KNOW IS HOW MUCH ELBOW MACARONI WILL I NEED TO MAKE 3 LBS, YOUR ANSWER IS VERY UNCLEAR
I may be reading wrong. If so sorry. It looks like you calculated with a 1/2 cup being 2ozs. 4 oz are in a cup. I totally get what your saying though.
Thank you I always used 8 oz of elbow macaroni making my Mac and cheese but the store doesn't have 8 oz no more it only sells 16 ounce which is frustrating !!! So now I know uncooked elbow macaroni I will use 2 cups right??
That would be true if we were converting to fluid ounces rather than ounces as a measurement of weight
12 cups of uncooked pasta is 3 lbs which yields a whole lot more once it is cooked.
Thank you
My recipe calls for 1/2 lb.of cooked macoroni, how much dry do I cook.
all I need to know is how much elbow macaroni do I need to cook to equal 1/2 pounds
I think I wrote it wrong. I would like to know how many cups of dry macaroni is 8oz, 16oz, ect. I buy large boxes of pasta and recipes calls for 7 or 8 oz of macaroni.
if you have a 1 lb (16 oz) box of macaroni. and the recipe calls for 8 oz I would say that means half the box. to get 7 oz either weigh it out or if you don't have a scale divide the macaroni into 16 equal parts (1 oz each) then use 7 of them in your recipe.
I got out my small scale and box of elbow macaroni. According to my scale 8 oz of macaroni is 1 3/4 cups.
You may want to buy a small kitchen scale. There is no conversion for weight to volume. 1 cup of elbow macaroni might weigh 8 oz, but depending on the size and shape, the weight/volume ratio will change.
The answer is: 1 3/4 cups of dry elbow macaroni = 8oz.
I have this same problem with a macaroni recipe that calls for 8oz of elbow mac. and I always have a 16 or 32 oz box.
so 2oz is a half cup how much for 4 oz a cup?
ummm... Short answer. A cup is 8 oz
3 cups
