Why Measure by Weight?
Ask any professional baker and they'll tell you the same thing: for consistent, reliable results, you MUST measure your ingredients by weight, not volume. A cup of flour can vary in weight by 20% or more depending on how packed it is. This variability can be the difference between a perfect cake and a dense brick.
- Accuracy: Weight is an exact measurement, while volume is an approximation.
- Consistency: Your recipes will turn out the same every single time.
- Less Mess: Fewer measuring cups and spoons to wash! Simply place your bowl on a kitchen scale and tare (zero out) between ingredients.
This tool helps bridge the gap, allowing you to convert recipes that use volume measurements into more accurate weight-based measurements.
