The same volume can have different weights
Choose the ingredient
Select water, flour, sugar, salt, butter or milk. Equal volumes can weigh differently, so match the ingredient before reading grams.
Enter the recipe’s amount and unit
Choose cups, tablespoons, teaspoons or mL and enter the amount. Decimal quantities let you convert fractions such as half a cup.
Compare volume and estimated grams
Read mL, approximate weight and spoon equivalents together. Packing or heaping ingredients changes weight; use a scale for precise measurements.
