What Type of Ketchup Do These Values Use?
This conversion is intended for ordinary bottled tomato ketchup. It can be used for most smooth commercial ketchup varieties.
Sugar content, tomato concentration and thickness vary between brands. Reduced-sugar, homemade or extra thick ketchup may therefore have a slightly different weight per cup.
Is Ketchup the Same as Tomato Sauce?
No. Ketchup is normally thicker, sweeter and more acidic than tomato sauce. It commonly contains vinegar, sugar, salt and spices.
Because their densities differ, use the conversion for the exact tomato product named in the recipe.
Does Homemade Ketchup Weigh the Same?
Homemade ketchup may be thinner or thicker depending on its ingredients and how long it has reduced. Straining or blending also affects its consistency.
These values work best for homemade ketchup with a consistency similar to bottled ketchup. Weigh an unusually thick or thin batch directly when accuracy is important.
How to Measure Ketchup

- Remove large air pockets from very thick ketchup.
- Level the surface when using a dry measuring cup.
- Scrape out the measured ketchup if the entire amount is needed in the recipe.
- Use a kitchen scale when the recipe provides grams.
