USING THE SIFTER+SCALE ATTACHMENT
VOLUME-TO-WEIGHT CONVERSION GUIDE
Ingredients such as flour can vary widely in density. In order to achieve the most consistent
results, we recommend measuring these ingredients by weight, not volume.
For recipes that only provide volume measurements, the chart below provides a good starting
point for converting to grams. As you repeat a recipe, you can adjust as needed to find the
optimal weight measurement for each dry ingredient to get the best results, every time.
INGREDIENT
All-Purpose Flour
Bread Flour
Cake Flour
Whole-Grain Flour
Baking Powder
(Sodium Aluminum Sulfate)
Baking Soda
Salt (Table)
Brown Sugar (Packed)**
Granulated Sugar
Powdered Sugar
* Approximate imperial values based on USDA (US Department of Agriculture) figures. Your
ingredients may differ. Other countries may use non-imperial measurement standards with
different conversions. The included digital scale will measure to the nearest whole gram.
** NOTE: Do not feed brown sugar through the sifter, as it may clog the sifter screen.
