Gewicht vs. Volumen beim Kochen

Definition

Gewichtsmessung beim Kochen verwendet Masseeinheiten (Gramm, Unzen) statt Volumeneinheiten (Cups, Esslöffel) zur Angabe von Zutatenmengen.

Erklärung

A cup of sifted flour weighs about 113 g, while an unsifted packed cup can reach 160 g—a 40% difference that collapses a cake recipe. Professional and pastry recipes almost universally specify grams for this reason. A kitchen scale also reduces the number of measuring cups to wash. The US remains unusual globally in relying on volume measures for home baking.
