What is a Gallon?
For large-batch cooking, 1 US gallon is approximately 3.8 liters. The imperial gallon (4.5 liters) is no longer commonly used in the UK for cooking, as most modern British recipes use metric measurements.
What is a Gram?
Grams are the preferred unit in professional kitchens and bakeries because they allow exact recipe scaling. To double a recipe, simply double the gram values. No need to worry about how tightly an ingredient is packed into a cup.
