°C = (°F − 32) × 5/9 °F = (°C × 9/5) + 32

Why Grams Are Better

Weight measurements (grams) are always more accurate than volume (cups) because: - Flour can be packed loosely or tightly — the same cup can vary by 30g - Liquids are harder to measure precisely in cups - Scales are faster once you get used to them

Our recommendation: invest in a kitchen scale. It's the single biggest upgrade to your baking consistency.
