      I have spent many, many hours looking for conversion of those frustrating "cup" ingredients to grams! It is so much easier to add everything to my scales in grams; yet many recipes do not do metric conversions:(.
      This is the most helpful, comprehensive page I have yet found.

      Thank you very much:).

        I 100% agree and definitely think that grams is easier (and more accurate)! I'm so glad you found this page useful 🙂

      Thank you, thank you, thank you! Printed this out so that I no longer need to ask Professor Google for weight measurements when a recipe doesn’t include them.
