Frequently asked questions
Why do I need different conversions for different ingredients?
Because density varies — a cup of flour weighs about 125 g while a cup of sugar weighs 200 g. A single "grams per cup" figure is only valid for water.
Should I measure by weight or volume?
Professional bakers weigh ingredients because it is more consistent and accurate. Volume (cups/spoons) can vary by up to 20% depending on how tightly you pack the measure.
How do I measure butter in grams?
1 cup of butter = 227 g = 2 sticks (US). Most butter wrappers have tablespoon marks — 1 tbsp = ~14 g.
