Converting accurately is critical for baking, where precision matters. 100 grams of flour is about 3.5 ounces. 250 grams of butter is about 8.8 ounces. Digital kitchen scales that display both units are invaluable for home bakers.

Precious Metals

Gold, silver, and platinum are weighed in troy ounces (31.1 grams), which differ from standard avoirdupois ounces (28.35 grams). When checking gold prices, note that "1 ounce of gold" refers to 31.1 grams, not the 28.35-gram ounce used for food and everyday items.
