Shawn, no, that's not quite correct. It _resolves_ to 0.1g, but it isn't really accurate at sub 1g measurements. But that's never an issue with bread recipes, none of the amounts I ever call for are less than 1g.
Yeah, it "measures" to one decimal place, but it doesn't do so accurately. It doesn't even register until you put at least 0.3g on it. It seems pretty accurate once it hits 1g though!
So glad to have you back! Is there a particular reason you omitted the amounts for starter in your chart? Possibly because it's too variable? Or maybe because any serious recipe using starter doesn't use volume measurements :-P I typically rely on about 248 g to be a cup of starter.
Hallie - thank you, it's good to be back! The reason I don't have starter on there is exactly that: Is it doubled in volume? Tripled? Collapsed? All of those would have different volumes. Even sourdough discard varies in volume depending upon how old it is.
Thank you so much! I get so cross with recipes that call for 1 stick of butter - what the hell is a stick of butter??? Not every country sells butter in sticks. Now I have the metric equivalent which makes me so happy as I have always baked/cooked using metric weights. Having to do the conversion before using a recipe is tedious. My copy of Rose Levy Birnbaum's Bread Bible has been used more for the extensive appendix of metric equivalents than for the recipes. And I especially appreciate you including smaller measurements, such as 1 tbsp of flour etc.
This is great - thanks so much for this handy chart, I’m bookmarking it! I think there’s a typo in the the first section “Volume conversions” though - you state that 2 Tablespoons = 1 fluid ounce = 10 ml. I think that should be 30 ml?
Thanks for that chart info!! I have a few recipes I have wanted to try but not wanting to have to explain to hubby why I need more kitchen tools I’ve put it off since the one I tried to do didn’t turn out as good as it did at class.
Thanks for the weight chart!
A slight, but critical, error: the scale pictured is accurate to .1g (not 1g).

Ok, thanks. I was going by the Amazon listing which says to 10th of a gram, so I assumed it was a typo.

Great chart, thank-you!

Fantastic! Weighing ingredients is so much easier, in most cases!
Lack of weights in recipes does my head in. I usually convert all the recipes I keep to weight over volume. Great stuff!

thanks for the heads up, Ruth!
If the bag of AP flour I am using says 1c is 135g do I use that amount or the 140g as listed on your chart?
use my numbers. I am smarter and more accurate than your bag of flour
And definitely funnier! Thanks for the quick response.
