How many grams is a troy ounce of gold?
A troy ounce is 31.1035 g — about 10% heavier than the standard 28.35 g avoirdupois ounce used for food. Gold, silver and platinum prices are always quoted per troy ounce, so a 10-tola bar (116.6 g) is about 3.75 troy oz.
Should I measure baking ingredients in ounces or grams?
Grams are more precise since most digital scales resolve to 1 g but only 0.1 oz (2.8 g). Converting recipes once — 6 oz flour = 170 g, 12 oz sugar = 340 g — and weighing in grams gives more consistent baking results.
