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?
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.
