ounces and grams

kyle it’s time y’all went metric. Even the Brit’s that invented your system of weights and measures have gone metric. Since there are more than 28 grams in an ounce you don’t need more accuracy to measure the spices. Another advantage is that you can do the math easily as there are 1000 grams in a kilo. Up here in the Great White North we went metric about 75 years ago so it’s easy to calculate 156 ppm for the exact amount of cure to add for my kg of meat for smoked garlic sausage. I’ve got my fingers crossed Biden doesn’t screw up

PapaSop I could do it the backwoods WI way and use my reloading scale I suppose. Just fill up the powder hopper with spice and away we go. I am just kidding you guys of course

Probably have the same reloader scale. Yeah, it works. Just not the same. LOL.
Single beam, not like the triple back in the day.

There are a ton of cheap, accurate digital reloading scales that can switch from grams to grains. I have hornady branded ones I use for spices for sausage. Absolutely the way to go, if your small measurements digital scale won’t read grains, it’s a one-trick pony. No need to buy an extra spice scale for 30 grams and under.

But yes, there should be no Tablespoons or teaspoons or other volumes in cooking. At least not when publishing a recipe for others. For accurate repeatability weight is the way to go. And grams is the unit of choice

PapaSop doh, digital man!

PapaSop Grains ain’t grams, my man.

kyle In reality the only time that I need that kind of precision is when I am adding something like sodium erythorbate, but other than that rounding will be fine.

Thanks all for your advice

I know. Kinda funning with kyle on the reloader scale.

Was curious, just looked. There is a grains to grams calculator.

PapaSop I have a beam scale like that also, but many year ago I moved up to a digital scale and you can do grams on it I think. I got a good laugh from you tho.
