The problem I find is that many recipes use different methods of measuring, and do not always disclose what method they are using. Some will dip and scoop, and some will fluff up the flour and spoon it in the cup. And this often amounts to a big difference in how the recipe will turn out, especially with flour and things like brown sugar. It is one reason why professionals go with weight measurements. This is why weight recipes are more accurate than volume. I always appreciate any and all recipes where grams are used. If more of us Americans discovered the accuracy, consistency and speed of using a scale, they would convert immediately!
Darlene Rothenay well said! That’s why I also show how to measure if one chooses the volumetric system, but for example if the person sifted the flour before scooping it then the measurement would change massively
If you do not fluff your ingredients when said in end your recipe will be dense, maybe hard/though. The particles will be farther with more air in between. If you fluff/stir, your flour for example your end resulr is a more fluffy recipes. I mostly flufff/aeriate my flour, baking powder etc due to settling of the ingredients. That is the difference between fluffying or not. And it can even ruin your outcome if you do not do it.

Thanks for the conversion. It's close enough. My grandmother used pinches, smidgen, her hands, and a tin cup. Her food was a sure great too! Trying to replicate her cooking is a challenge.
After having problems working this out. I discovered I owned a cookery book with loads of recipes in. Both American and British. It was a great help for me. Thank you for video. New subscriber
iam a Danish baker we use scale in grams, the volume is not good to get the perfect bread, fx 1 cup of siftet flour has a low weight the same cup whit flour from a bag has a higer weight so com on USA go metric its so more easy to bake
I only wish that in recipes they would write down how many grams and cups you need. Not one or the other. I am European we don’t use measuring cups and when I saw a recipe with cups ... I was lost
@@BakingNicky I want to ask a question dear maim! when we want to bake two cakes at the same day but we have only one container we will bake them one by one, but can I make the batter of both the cakes at the same time so that on will baked first and then second one.... how long can stay a cake batter befor baking so that it don't loss it's texture ..
Thank you so much for the info.. I was searching for cake flour recipe and all were telling cup and tablespoons.. I have cup but no spoons.. so glad I found this 👍
Really useful video. I watched many baking videos and jotted down the conversions as don't have scale. Dry ingredients we get in gms and liquid in ml.... too much confusing. But thanks to you for videos.... perfectly explained using scale and measuring tools 👍
At this point I thing all these ridiculous measurements are used to keep recipes at least half secret. When a recipe is complicated any amount of vagueness in measurements will end up with COUNTLESS different results.
im trying to be positive, and its not that you dont know your stuff, you obviously do. But the type of measuring cups you use are not helpful as they come in different sizes. For example one cup has a different measure to another one cup - depending on the country. And therefore you could be addressing just one type of audience. Like there is metric and imperial, and a third which I cant remember at the moment. So whenever I follow a recipe on You tube, depending what country the person comes from Im hearing something different, which can totally mess up the works.. Any tips on this problem would be appreciated.
Please also remember that when you're measuring volumes, 1 US pint = 16 fluid oz, whereas 1 UK pint = 20 fluid oz. When I'm reading a recipe book that's written in imperial measurements, I often check where the recipe was published before I start measuring....sooo annoying.
When I use a recipe book I first look to see where it was printed, U.S. cup differs from u k differs from Aus. Guess that's why metric is becoming the standard.
I grew up in non-english speaking metric system country and we don't have units like cups or tablespoons or other outdated and primitive nonsense. We measure everything in proper metric units defined by physical constants.
Another resource for accurate measuring is on many packages themselves. Within the nutritional information on most packaging, the measurements are given in (g) for dry and (ml) for wet. Those should be the first resources used. For all others, stick to a general consensus (for example, not all flour types weigh equally). My favorite baker uses 130g for flour.
Great video! That said, I don't understand why you did not level off the top when you measured out the granulated sugar. I level my measuring cup off and it does weigh 200 grams, which is the international standard weight given for a full, level cup of sugar. Right off the bat, it appeared that your scale was off or your measuring vessels were not accurate, because of how you demonstrated filling up the cups. Other than that minor nitpick, this was an excellent video and I thank you for taking the time to demonstrate how to convert measurements to weights.
Hello there, thanks for your comments let me try to add a few thoughts that came to mind :) I think you make a good point, to be consistent one should level off even coarser ingredients like sugar! Even without leveling it is clear that the weight measurement differs from cup to cup and that was the main point of the sugar part and why i picked the metal cup :) The numbers on the scale before putting the cups onto them were not random: step 1: weigh your cup, use the tare button to set things at zero I showed this at the beginning to avoid too much rep thanks for watching!
Thank you ,l do lots of baking myself at times l have to go back to my notes from school,but for beginners this is a great of help,thanks for sharing.

As a visual person, this was really helpful to see the cups vs grams. Thanks so much!
Glad it was helpful! thank you for your kind comment! :)
Thank you for this info. Starting to bake and it's gets crazy using cups since it has different sizes. Agree to weigh abd use grams instead.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Thank you so much for teaching me great help!
You’re so welcome 👍😊

Thank you for this lovely comment! Greetings to India x
A high precision scale should be used for *everything.* no more need for measuring cups, and a scale is not only more precise, it's much faster too.
Not everyone can afford a high precision scale
Thank you very much, this is a big help.. i don't own a digital weighing scale, i only have cups and spoons..
Thankyou so much for a great help. Eventhough i have measuring cups and spoons there was a confusion about liquid and solid measurements. 👍👌
You are welcome 😊
Thnk you so much I am one of them who get confused about cups at home I always use my cup for tea
Oh no, sometimes we gotta get creative 😊😂
Thanks😍I'm happy to know this method of measuring ingredients i can now bake some of my favorite bread and cookies easy❤

This video is very informative. Ive never used a scale for baking so im very excited to start and see if this will enhance my results. ❤
It’s much better for consistent and precise results, enjoy!
Thank you. Very helpful. Otherwise I always have to do the conversion by myself. Taking time. Now I am going to get used to using cups.
Glad it was helpful! :)
Finally. THIS is actually what I needed.

Its so annoying to be european trying to do an american recipe
1 cup?
That is the stupidest thing that only happens in the USA. There s something that is called gram.
We use both sweet summer child. Our packages have both measurements. Google is your friend for conversions.
