Understanding the Units
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.
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.
