A metric cup (250 ml, used in Australia, New Zealand, Canada and many Indian recipes) holds about 6% more than a US cup.
Small amounts are measured with level measuring spoons; for spices a tiny weighing error matters little, but for salt and leaveners use level spoons.
A 7 g sachet is about 2¼ teaspoons.
Also called: dry yeast.
Weights are for a level US cup (236.6 ml) and level spoons, from King Arthur Baking's ingredient weight chart. Brands and packing vary by a few per cent; when a recipe gives grams, weigh rather than measure.
1 level US cup of instant yeast weighs about 144 g (5.1 oz). A 250 ml metric cup weighs about 152 g.
1 level tablespoon of instant yeast is about 9 g, and 1 teaspoon is about 3 g.
100 g of instant yeast is about 0.69 cups, or 11.1 tablespoons.
A cup measures volume, not weight. Instant Yeast is full of air between the particles, so a cup weighs much less than a cup of water (144 g vs 237 g).
