How it works

Grams = milliliters × density (g/ml). Water has a density of almost exactly 1 g/ml, so 250 ml of water weighs 250 g. Milk is slightly heavier (about 1.03 g/ml), oil lighter (about 0.92 g/ml), and powdery ingredients like flour much lighter — around 0.53 g/ml when spooned. The densities here come from standard weights per US cup.
