Understanding the Units
What is a Cup?
In US cooking, a cup measures volume, not weight. One standard US cup holds 236.588 ml of liquid. Because different ingredients have different densities, a cup of one ingredient can weigh very differently from a cup of another.
What is a Gram?
A gram (g) is a metric unit of mass equal to 1/1000 of a kilogram. It is the standard weight measurement for precise baking worldwide. Professional bakers prefer grams because they are more accurate than volume measurements.
