Tips for Accurate Kitchen Measurements
- Use a kitchen scale when a recipe provides grams or ounces by weight.
- Level dry ingredients instead of using a heaped cup or spoon.
- Measure liquids on a flat surface and read the level at eye height.
- Check whether ounces refer to weight or fluid volume.
- Confirm whether the recipe uses US, metric or imperial measurements.
For ingredient-specific calculations, use the cups to grams converter or grams to cups converter . See baking measurements for more baking-specific guidance.
