Ounces to Grams in Cooking
Converting ounces to grams is essential for accurate cooking and baking, especially when following international recipes or using digital kitchen scales. Understanding both weight and fluid ounces helps ensure recipe success.
Weight Ounces vs Fluid Ounces
- Weight Ounce (oz): Measures the actual weight of an ingredient. 1 weight ounce = 28.3495 grams exactly.
- Fluid Ounce (fl oz): Measures volume, not weight. The gram equivalent depends on the ingredient's density.
Why Use Grams in Cooking?
- Accuracy: Grams provide more precise measurements than cups or spoons
- Consistency: Weight measurements are consistent regardless of how ingredients are packed
- International Recipes: Most international recipes use metric measurements
- Professional Baking: Professional bakers rely on weight for consistent results

Baking Tips
