You cannot convert weight into volume (grams are a unit of weight), it is impossible. It would be the same thing as trying to convert inches into pounds. There are no conversions because they do not exist.

VOLUME and WEIGHT are two completely different concepts, just as LENGTH and WEIGHT are. Think of it this way, what would weigh more, a cup of lead pellets or a cup of small feathers?

In cooking, a cup of butter is 8 ounces, it also weighs approximately 8 ounces, too. But not exactaly!! Recipes can use both volume and weight when dealing with water and butter. However, in large scale recipes that restaurants use, and especialy in baking recipes, this is not a good idea!! You could really mess up a recipe this way.

Also, flour varies in density throught the year. Sometimes in the winter, because of the excess moisture in the air, a cup of flour will weigh more than it will in the summer. This can also have a disatourous effects on a recipe.

The soultion? Recipes should always have a weight measurement for dry ingriedients. In my opinion, dry ingriedents should NEVER be measured using a measuring cup. This is the way they do it in Euorpean cookbooks. Liquid are always measured in measuring cups (execpt for some baking formulas where it is weighed).

What confuses people is that volume and weight have the same unit name (ounces). The morons who invented the English System gave this name to both volume and weight, thus confusing us poor Americans who use this retarded system.

I have come accross countless of recipes where dry ingredients are measured in ounces and the recipe fails to mention if it is volume or weight ounces. This is really confusing and frustrating!!!!


My suggestion? Go out and buy a nice kitchen scale. They are not that expensive.

Hopes this helps.
