How ½ cup of panko breadcrumbs works out
One US cup of panko breadcrumbs weighs 60 grams, so multiply by 0.5 to get half a cup: 60 × 0.5 = 30 g. In the other direction, 30 g of panko breadcrumbs divided by 60 brings you back to ½ cup.
If you have no scales, ½ cup is 8 level tablespoons of panko breadcrumbs (24 teaspoons), because a US cup holds 16 tablespoons. In a 250 ml metric cup — the Australian, New Zealand and modern UK standard — the same fraction is 31.7 g.
Tip: Panko's flakes are much lighter than standard breadcrumbs, so don't substitute them by weight — match by volume and expect a crispier, lacier coating.
