Understanding the Units
What is a Milliliter?
Milliliters measure volume and are used worldwide for cooking and baking. For water at room temperature, 1 ml weighs approximately 1 gram, but this relationship does not hold for other ingredients.
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.
