Different ingredients have different densities. One cup of all-purpose flour weighs about 120 grams, while one cup of granulated sugar weighs about 200 grams, and one cup of honey weighs about 340 grams. Using a generic conversion would give wildly inaccurate results. Professional bakers always measure by weight for this reason, and this tool provides the correct density data for each ingredient to bridge the gap between volume and weight measurements.

Fluid ounces (fl oz) measure volume while ounces (oz) measure weight. One fluid ounce of water happens to weigh very close to one ounce, but this is not true for other ingredients. One fluid ounce of honey weighs about 1.5 ounces because honey is denser than water. One fluid ounce of flour weighs only about 0.5 ounces because flour is less dense. Always check whether a recipe specifies fluid ounces (volume) or ounces (weight).

Gas Mark is a temperature scale used primarily in British and some European recipes. Gas Mark 1 equals 275 degrees Fahrenheit or 140 degrees Celsius, and each Gas Mark increment adds 25 degrees Fahrenheit. Common baking temperatures include Gas Mark 4 (350F/180C) for cakes, Gas Mark 6 (400F/200C) for bread, and Gas Mark 7 (425F/220C) for pastries. The scale runs from 1/4 (225F) to 10 (500F).

Cup measurements can vary significantly depending on how the ingredient is scooped. A cup of flour can range from 120 to 150 grams depending on whether it is spooned in loosely or packed tightly. This is why professional bakers and most international recipes use weight measurements in grams. When converting from cups to grams using this tool, the values assume standard measurement technique: spooned and leveled for dry ingredients, not packed unless specified.
