Understanding the Units
What is a Gram?
Weighing ingredients in grams eliminates the variability of volume measurements. A cup of flour can weigh anywhere from 120g to 160g depending on how it was scooped, but 120g of flour is always 120g of flour.
What is a Gallon?
A US gallon equals 3,785 ml, 16 cups, 4 quarts, or 128 fluid ounces. It is used for bulk liquid quantities in American cooking and food storage.
