Why convert between Ounces and Grams?

Cooking and baking are universal activities, but different parts of the world use different measurements. Recipes from European countries or anywhere using the metric system typically list ingredient quantities in grams. American recipes often use ounces and cups, which are part of the imperial system.

Grams provides a more precise measurement than ounces. Accuracy is usually important in cooking, especially in baking.

Coming across International recipes is common given the ubiquitous access to information today. Imagine finding a recipe that lists ingredient measurements in grams rather than ounces. Instead of trying to estimate the measurement in ounces, you can easily convert the amount to ensure your dish turns out as intended, in your preferred measurement unit. This is especially important in baking, where precision usually matters.

Likewise, purchasing ingredients or items from international stores and online may be labeled in their native units even though you might be working in a different measurement system. Having the ability to convert these units ensures that you can measure out the correct amount without issue.

Tips for accurate measurements

Accurate measurements in cooking, or really anwhere, can be extremely important. Here are some tips:

Reliable scales: Be sure to use a reliable, high quality digital scale to achieve a prescise measurement. Weighing ingredients in cooking, especially baking, is pretty common - especially if you want to make sure you get your recipe correct.
Dry ingredients: Using a spoon for ingredients like flour or sugar can be useful to fluff the ingredient. Additionally, using a knife or other straight edge to level off your ingredient can help avoid packing ingredients too densely.
Liquid ingredients: Clear measuring cups with graduated markings are usually best for measuring liquids. Be sure that the cup is on a flat surface so as to not tilt the liquid and throw off your measurement.
