What is an ounce in cooking?
An ounce is a standard measurement unit in US recipe books particularly. It is a measurement used for weighing dry ingredients, with the packages for ingredients showing it as an abbreviation. You might see an ounce written down as ‘oz.’. To put into context, a single ounce is the equivalent weight to a single slice of standard bread. If you are reading a traditional US recipe book with ingredients weighed in ounces, you might want to convert those to grams if you are in the UK, or other parts of the world where grams are used as a measurement.
What does a gram mean in cooking?
The abbreviation for a gram is ‘g.’. It is a metric cooking measurement that is a unit of weight or mass. If you consider the weight of a tiny paper clip, a single gram is of a similar weight.
What about a troy ounce (t oz)?
A troy ounce is different to an avoirdupois ounce (we’ll get into that shortly). When converting a troy ounce, you need to multiply your figure by 31.1034768 (or around 31 for a rough conversion). We have a weight converter calculator that can also be used in these types of conversions.
Is there a difference between troy ounces and avoirdupois ounces?
If you are looking at both troy ounces and avoirdupois ounces you might be confused at first. Whereas avoirdupois ounces are seen in cooking measurements, to measure produce and also used to weigh people, troy ounces is the measurement used when weighing gemstones and precious metals. So, for instance, you’ll see the weight of gold given in troy ounces. This is an important distinguishment to make when using our converter between ounces and grams, in order to have accurate conversion.
