Understanding the Units
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.
What is a Liter?
Liters are the same everywhere, unlike cups, pints, and gallons which vary between US and imperial systems. This consistency is one reason professional kitchens worldwide prefer metric measurements.
