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 Liter?
A liter (L) is a metric unit of volume equal to 1,000 milliliters or approximately 4.227 US cups. It is the standard large-volume measurement for cooking worldwide outside the US.
