Baking from American recipes with metric measuring tools (or the reverse) — this is the #1 kitchen conversion in the world. One important tip: cups measure volume, so a cup of flour (~120 g) weighs half as much as a cup of water (~237 g). For precise baking, serious bakers weigh dry ingredients in grams and use ml only for liquids.
