Understanding the Units
What is a Teaspoon?
In baking, teaspoon measurements are critical for ingredients where precision changes the outcome. Too much baking soda (1 tsp = 6g) creates a metallic taste, while too little means flat results.
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.
