US vs UK vs Australian Measurements

US recipes use cups, tablespoons, and teaspoons for volume; UK recipes increasingly use grams for dry ingredients and ml for liquid. Australian tablespoons are 20 ml (4 teaspoons) rather than the US/UK 15 ml (3 teaspoons) — a small but recipe-ruining difference if unnoticed. Australian cups are 250 ml versus 237 ml in the US.

Why Weighing is More Accurate

Volume measurements for dry ingredients vary significantly depending on how you fill the cup. A loosely scooped cup of flour weighs around 100 g; a packed cup can weigh 150 g or more. That 50% variation can make or break a baked recipe. Weighing on a digital scale eliminates the variable entirely — which is why professional bakers and serious home cooks use grams.
