Peso vs. Volume na Culinária

Definição

A medição por peso na culinária utiliza unidades de massa (gramas, onças) em vez de unidades de volume (xícaras, colheres) para especificar quantidades de ingredientes.

Explicação

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.
