Step 1: Ingredient Details
Understanding Ingredient Density
Different ingredients have different densities. For example, 1 cup of flour weighs about 120g, while 1 cup of sugar weighs about 200g. Accurate conversions depend on both the ingredient type and how it’s measured.
Step 2: Measurement Details
Measurement Accuracy
For baking, measuring by weight (grams) is more accurate than measuring by volume (cups). A kitchen scale ensures consistent results, especially for dry ingredients like flour that can settle or be packed differently.
