Recipe Conventions/Conversions

Like most bakers I work from grams. I never work in cups of flour. They are listed for convenience. Different flours will have different weights for a cup and how the flour has settled will also effect weight. Working from weight is always the most reliable. For small quantities such as a teaspoon of salt I use measuring spoons but I know the weight of the salt I use. If you want to use course salt, measuring spoons will not work. Again this is where weight helps. The best tool your baking can benefit from is a scale. I have two, one basic kitchen digital scale (+-1 gram accuracy) and a precision scale (+-.1 gram accuracy) for working out small details. I bought my basic scale on sale for $12 so not a big expense.
