I always bake by weight since it is so much more accurate, as you said, but I also try to provide
volume measurements when possible
The weights of dry ingredients especially can vary wildly depending on everything from the weather to the milling process, which is why professional bakers rely on weights rather than
volume measurements when baking.
Not exact matches
When there is a significant weight discrepancy, would you recommend favoring the
volume or the weight
measurements in your original recipe?
When I originally came up with the recipe, I measured everything in cups, and then I weighed out those
volume measurements.
When I first created the recipe, I used
volume measurements, and to get the weights I measured out each ingredient, placed it on the scale, recorded the amount in ounces, and then hit the kg / lb button which then gave me the weight in grams.
That shouldn't suggest to anyone that bread can't be made successfully
when using
volume measurements, or that the metric system will turn a home baker into a pro.
Volume is a notoriously inaccurate method of
measurement when it comes to cooking, and I can imagine the macros could change quite a lot depending on how finely something is chopped or how efficiently packed into the measuring cup.
And
when baking by weight, you essentially ignore
volume measurements.
I love
when cookbooks offer both
volume and weight
measurements.
Measuring cups are a
volume measurement, but
when the bag of cheese says 8 ounces, that's a weight
measurement.
As I believe America does not use metric weights and actually prefers
volume over weight hence why I use the cup
measurements when I can.
But, why do so many other recipes continue to use
volume (or other equally inaccurate)
measurements when weight would more accurate.
Additionally,
when there were
volume measurements marked on the glass, drinkers drank their beer more slowly; 10 minutes, as opposed to 9 minutes with glasses that had no marks.
objectives include: Year 6 objectives • solve problems involving the calculation and conversion of units of measure, using decimal notation up to 3 decimal places where appropriate • use, read, write and convert between standard units, converting
measurements of length, mass,
volume and time from a smaller unit of measure to a larger unit, and vice versa, using decimal notation to up to 3 decimal places • convert between miles and kilometres • recognise that shapes with the same areas can have different perimeters and vice versa • recognise
when it is possible to use formulae for area and
volume of shapes • calculate the area of parallelograms and triangles • calculate, estimate and compare
volume of cubes and cuboids using standard units, including cubic centimetres (cm ³) and cubic metres (m ³), and extending to other units [for example, mm ³ and km ³] • express missing number problems algebraically • find pairs of numbers that satisfy an equation with 2 unknowns • enumerate possibilities of combinations of 2 variables • draw 2 - D shapes using given dimensions and angles • recognise, describe and build simple 3 - D shapes, including making nets • compare and classify geometric shapes based on their properties and sizes and find unknown angles in any triangles, quadrilaterals, and regular polygons • illustrate and name parts of circles, including radius, diameter and circumference and know that the diameter is twice the radius • recognise angles where they meet at a point, are on a straight line, or are vertically opposite, and find missing angles • describe positions on the full coordinate grid (all 4 quadrants) • draw and translate simple shapes on the coordinate plane, and reflect them in the axes • interpret and construct pie charts and line graphs and use these to solve problems • calculate and interpret the mean as an average • read, write, order and compare numbers up to 10,000,000 and determine the value of each digit • round any whole number to a required degree of accuracy and more!
When I asked them a few months ago, the NSIDC said that within a year or two
volume measurements will be up and running.
