What 600 grams looks like

600 grams is 21.1644 ounces by weight (1.3228 lb), whatever the ingredient. The cups depend on what you are weighing. 600 g of all-purpose flour is exactly 5 cups; 600 g of bread flour is exactly 5 cups; 600 g of granulated sugar is very close to 3 cups; 600 g of dry long-grain rice is very close to 3 cups.

At this size a scale is faster than cups: 600 g of flour is 5 cups spooned and levelled, and the difference between a light and a packed cup adds up to a full cup's error over a bag-sized batch.

600 grams in metric cups and ounces

In a 250 ml metric or Australian cup, 600 g of all-purpose flour is about 4.73 cups instead of 5 US cups, because the cup is bigger while the weight per cup stays on the same reference. By weight, 600 g is 21.1644 oz for any ingredient.

The calculation is always grams ÷ grams per cup: 600 ÷ 120 = 5 US cups for flour, 600 ÷ 198 = 3.0303 for granulated sugar. Keep the unrounded figure while you work and round only what you write down.
