Understanding the Units
What is a Pint?
The pint is one of the most confusing measurements across countries because the difference between US and UK versions is so large. Always check which country a recipe comes from before measuring in pints.
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.
