How ⅓ cup of vinegar works out
One US cup of vinegar weighs 239 grams, so multiply by 0.333 to get a third of a cup: 239 × 0.333 = 79.7 g. In the other direction, 79.7 g of vinegar divided by 239 brings you back to ⅓ cup.
If you have no scales, ⅓ cup is 5.333 level tablespoons of vinegar (16 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 84.2 g.
Tip: Standard vinegars sit around 5% acidity; if a recipe relies on the acid (for example to activate baking soda), don't substitute a much milder or stronger vinegar.
