Questions about converting ounces to grams
What do common imperial weights like 4oz and 8oz come to in grams?

Enter any amount above for the precise figure if you'd rather not round.
Can I just use my kitchen scales set to the wrong unit?
No, scales set to grams and a recipe written in ounces need converting properly, since the units aren't interchangeable. Convert the whole ingredient list first rather than switching mid-recipe.
Does rounding ounces to grams matter for baking?
It matters more in baking than in general cooking, because the balance of flour, fat, sugar and raising agent is closely tied to the original recipe. Keep to the precise conversion for anything with a raising agent.
