Baking Tips for Conversion Success
Why Weight is Better
Professional bakers prefer weighing ingredients because:
- • More accurate than volume measurements
- • Consistent results every time
- • Easier to scale recipes up or down
- • No variation from packing or sifting
Converting Recipes
- • Start with reliable conversion charts
- • Keep notes on successful conversions
- • Invest in a kitchen scale for accuracy
- • Remember altitude affects baking
- • Test converted recipes with small batches first
Pro Tip: When converting US recipes to metric, use the ingredient-specific conversions above rather than generic volume-to-weight ratios, as density varies significantly between ingredients.
