Pack sizes in ounces
Many packs are sold in round grams: 100 g is 3.5 oz, 250 g is 8.8 oz, 454 g is 1 lb and 500 g is 17.6 oz. US recipes often say 8 oz where a metric pack is 225 or 250 g, so the difference rarely matters in cooking.
For gold, switch to troy ounces or use Tola to Grams. For kilograms, use KG to Lbs; to reverse, use Ounces to Grams.
- Packs labelled in grams in Europe and Asia often show ounces too, rounded to one decimal.
- Coffee and spice recipes work better in grams because the amounts are small.
- For gold and silver, switch to troy ounces before converting.

Why do kitchen scales offer grams?
Grams are smaller than ounces, so they give finer readings for baking, coffee and spices. Most digital scales switch between grams and ounces with a button.
Which ounce is used for gold prices?
Gold, silver and platinum are always quoted per troy ounce, so choose the troy option before converting grams of precious metal.
How precise is the answer?
The result is shown to four decimal places, which is more precise than a kitchen scale, so you can round it to suit your recipe.
Is an ounce bigger than a gram?
Yes, much bigger. One ounce is about twenty-eight grams, so the number of grams is always far larger than the number of ounces for the same weight. A small mistake in direction gives a result that is badly wrong.
