Common Mistakes to Avoid
❌ US vs metric recipes
US: cups, tablespoons, teaspoons, fl oz. Metric: mL, L, grams. Weight (grams) is more accurate than volume for baking.
❌ Fluid oz vs weight oz
Fluid ounces measure volume. Weight ounces measure mass. 1 fl oz water ≈ 1 weight oz, but this varies for other ingredients.
