Understanding Cooking Measurement Conversion
Core Formulas
Weight to Volume: Volume = Weight ÷ Density
Volume to Weight: Weight = Volume × Density
Density: Mass per unit volume (kg/m³)
Common Ingredient Densities
Water: 1000 kg/m³
Flour: 593 kg/m³
Sugar: 845 kg/m³
Salt: 1217 kg/m³
Milk: 1030 kg/m³
Oil: 920 kg/m³
Honey: 1420 kg/m³
Butter: 911 kg/m³
