Easier, more accurate baking using weight measurements!

Most professional bakers use weight to measure ingredients instead of volume. Instead of 4 cups of flour, 400 grams might be called for. Measuring dry ingredients by weight can give much more consistent results, especially for packable ingredients like flours or brown sugar. For sticky liquid ingredients like honey or molasses, measuring spoons can leave half the measured amount stuck to the inside of the spoon. Measuring by weight gives accurate results every time.

Most baking recipes are written to use volumes since most home kitchens have no shortage of measuring cups and spoons but are usually light on cooking scales. Fortunately good cooking scales can be had for $20-30. ByWeight helps you convert your existing recipes.

Converting recipes from volume to weight requires knowledge of the density of each ingredient. One cup of water isnt the same as one cup of shortening. Even a cup of all purpose (AP) flour differs enough in weight from a cup of bread flour that it makes a significant difference. ByWeight knows the densities of dozens of common baking ingredients, and it makes it easy to add in your own favorite ingredients too. If you know the weight of a given quantity of something (just weigh a cup on your scale), you can easily add the ingredient to ByWeight including an optional picture. If you find the weights of the included ingredients dont match those of whats available in your local market, you can easily customize any ingredient. All recipes will be automatically recalculated.
