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?
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.
