Single-conversion pages for tomato paste

Working with tomato paste

Tomato Paste sits in the pantry & condiments group, where the ingredient is denser than water, so a cup weighs more than 240 g and volume errors translate into large weight errors. One standard 6 oz can is about 2/3 cup. 1 tablespoon is roughly 16 g.

If you are converting a whole recipe rather than a single line, the Recipe to Metric converter matches every ingredient to its own density in one pass, and the Recipe Scaler resizes the batch first so you only convert once.
