![]() In converting Imperial to metric weights, I have rounded to the nearest 5 grams above 1 ounce and to the nearest 50 grams above 1 kilogram. Where a volume measurement isn’t useful (e.g., for chocolate or some of the fresh produce), weight measurements are provided in both ounces and grams. Always check the book to see if this has been clearly mentioned.įor other ingredients where the measuring method affects the weight-such as cocoa powder, confectioners’ sugar, cornstarch, nut flours, matcha, baking powder, and spices-I have provided weight equivalents using the spoon-and-sweep method, where the ingredient is spooned into a measuring cup or spoon, then swept across the top with the back of a knife to level it. For flour, I provided weight equivalents using the scoop-and-sweep method (use a spoon to fluff up the flour in the bin, dip the measuring cup into the flour and scoop it up, then sweep across the top of the cup with the back of a knife to level it), but the author of the book you are baking from may have used the spoon-and-sweep method, which will give you a different amount. Weights can vary considerably depending on the method used to measure them. If you still like to proceed with using measuring cups and spoons or if you are cooking or baking from a cookbook that doesn’t include weights of ingredients, feel free to use the baking conversion charts below, but be aware of the fact that I’ve measured every ingredient below myself. ![]() For other baking equipment that I’ve tested over the years and recommend, take a look at my Essential Baking Tools & Equipment page. A budget-friendly version is Etekcity’s kitchen scale that costs only $13.99 and is the #1 best seller kitchen scale on Amazon right now.įor greater precision when weighing spices, baking soda, etc., I use Weigh Grams’s Pocket Scale, which allows you to weigh a maximum capacity of 100 grams with 0.01 gram resolution (in order to keep it calibrated and accurate, I also recommend buying this calibration weight). It has an 8000 gram capacity with 1 gram resolution. My choice is My Weigh KD8000 Multi-Purpose Digital Kitchen & Hobby Scale. Make sure the scale includes a tare function, a button that resets the scale to zero so that you may weigh additional ingredients sequentially in the same bowl, or can zero out the bowl or pan weight to determine the weight of its contents. Look for a model that easily toggles between ounces and grams, preferably in decimals or both decimals and fractions, in 1-gram or smaller increments. You’ll be rewarded with more consistent results, less cleanup, and a streamlined process. But I must say: If you like to bake, do yourself a favor and get a digital scale. Measuring your ingredients by weight (grams) will certainly make you a better baker as accuracy is paramount in baking. You’ll also find an egg size conversion chart. If your ingredient is not listed, than check which one comes closest and use those measurements or do a search online.The cooking and baking conversion charts on this page will help you convert measurements from cups to grams and ounces as well as convert recipes from yeast to sourdough or sourdough to yeast. Here is a calculation for a few common ingredients. * All the above measurements have been round up exact volumes in milliliter are mentioned between bracketsĬalculating cups and spoons into grams is a little tricker, because you have to deal with volume per ingredient (a tablespoon of butter would weigh heavier than the same tablespoon with icingsugar for instance) I can highly recommend that, as it makes life so much easier! But if you want to start cooking straight away I have converted the most common uses in cooking here.ġ tablespoon (tbs- tb sp- TS) (3 teaspoons) ![]() The easiest solution is to run to the nearest store and buy yourself a set of cups and spoons. This can cause a bit of an issue when you want to use a recipe. ![]() What can make it a little difficult is the fact that we use grams and ml in Europe while the US and the UK work with cups and spoons. ![]() And I haven’t even mentioned the recipes you can find on the wordwide web! With the current offer for foreign cookbooks you can buy is it possible to take every kitchen around the world into your home. ![]()
