To convert grams to ounces, multiply the number of grams by .03529 (an approximation). To convert kilos to pounds, multiply the number of kilos by 2.2046.

Equivalents

28.335 grams = 1 ounce or oz.
16 ounces = 1 pound or lb.
1 kilo = 2.205 pounds or lbs.


Cooking Measurements: Measurements for recipes in the United States are almost always stated by volume rather than by weight.

This is true for both liquid ingredients and dry ingredients.
When a recipe calls for a cup, a teaspoon, or a tablespoon, it means a standard measuring utensil that may be bought at the local grocery or discount store.
It does not mean a china coffee cup or teacup from your table, nor a teaspoon or tablespoon with which you eat.

Abbreviations for volume measures used in cookbooks include:

Measure Abbreviation
gallon gal.
quart qt.
pint pt.
cup c.
teaspoon Tsp. or t.
tablespoon Tbsp. or T.


These volume measurements relate to each other in these equivalents:

1 gallon = 4 quarts
1 quart = 2 pints
1 pint = 2 cups
1 cup = 8 fluid ounces
1 cup = 16 tablespoons
1 tablespoon = 3 teaspoons
