Adaptation of volumetric recipes can be made with density approximations: In four different English-language countries of recipe and measuring-utensil markets, approximate cup volumes range from 236.59 to 284.1 milliliters (mL). Intra-metric conversions involve moving the decimal point. ![]() In the metric system, there are only a small number of basic measures of relevance to cooking: the gram (g) for weight, the liter (L) for volume, the meter (m) for length, and degrees Celsius (☌) for temperature multiples and sub-multiples are indicated by prefixes, two commonly used metric cooking prefixes are milli- (m-) and kilo- (k-). units can sometimes be awkward and the metric system makes these conversions simpler. Baker's percentage expresses a ratio in percentages of each ingredient's weight to the total flour weight: Baker's percentage ingredient = 100 % × Weight ingredient Weight flour Weights and densities It is sometimes called formula percentage, a phrase that refers to the sum of a set of baker's percentages. It is also referred to as baker's math, and may be indicated by a phrase such as based on flour weight. Baker's percentage is a notation method indicating the proportion of an ingredient relative to the flour used in a recipe when making breads, cakes, muffins, and other baked goods. ![]()
