Should I measure ingredients by weight or volume?

Measuring by weight is more accurate than measuring by volume, especially for dry ingredients. Professional bakers and chefs prefer weight measurements because they are consistent and reproducible regardless of how the ingredient is packed.

Notes on ingredient measurements

It is a bit tricky to get an accurate food conversion since its characteristics change according to humidity, temperature, or how well packed the ingredient is. Ingredients that contain the terms sliced, minced, diced, crushed, chopped add uncertainties to the measurements. A good practice is to measure ingredients by weight, not by volume so that the error is decreased.
