How to Measure Breadcrumbs in Cups
Dry breadcrumbs can be scooped or spooned into the measuring cup and leveled off. Fine dry breadcrumbs compact slightly when scooped, giving about 108 grams per cup. Panko breadcrumbs are so airy that a cup holds only 60 grams.
The difference between breadcrumb types is dramatic and will significantly affect the texture of breaded dishes. Use the calculator above to select the type you're using and convert to grams for precise cooking.
Pro tip: Panko breadcrumbs create a much crispier coating than regular breadcrumbs because their larger, flakier pieces provide more surface area for browning. Always toast panko lightly in butter for the crunchiest results.
