Understanding the Units
What is a Liter?
One liter is about 5.7% larger than a US quart (1,000 ml vs 946 ml) and about 12% smaller than a UK quart (1,000 ml vs 1,137 ml). Always convert precisely rather than treating them as interchangeable.
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.
