How to measure 160 ml without a measuring jug
Three reliable ways, in order of accuracy:
- Kitchen scale (most accurate): for water, milk and other thin liquids, 160 ml weighs almost exactly 160 g — set a jug on the scale, zero it, and pour to 160 g.
- Measuring spoons: with metric spoons (15 ml tablespoon, 5 ml teaspoon), 10 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons = exactly 160 ml.
- Cup measure: fill a US cup to the ⅔ line — 160 ml is exactly two-thirds of a 240 ml US cup. With a 250 ml metric cup, stop just under the ⅔ mark (⅔ metric ≈ 167 ml).

160 ml of common ingredients in grams
Volume-to-weight depends on the ingredient — 160 ml of flour weighs half what 160 ml of honey does. Approximate figures:

| Milk | ~165 g |
| Vegetable oil | ~147 g |
| All-purpose flour | ~85 g |
| Granulated sugar | ~135 g |

Spooned-and-levelled flour; densities vary by brand and humidity — for baking, weigh instead.
