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. 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.
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.
