Kitchen Conversion Tips
Dry vs. Liquid Measuring
Always use dry measuring cups for flour and sugar — level off with a straight edge. For liquids, use a glass measuring cup and read at eye level.
Weigh for Accuracy
A kitchen scale gives the most consistent results, especially for baking. 1 cup of flour can range from 120–150g depending on how it’s packed.
Oven Calibration
Most home ovens run 25°F hotter or cooler than the dial shows. An oven thermometer is the easiest way to get consistent baking results.
