Using Grams

Our small kitchen scale measures weights in ounces and grams, but I never had a reason to use grams.  at least, not until I started making little balls of ground chuck for smashburgers.  We typically buy 1.5 pounds, enough for eight, three-ounce balls, but by the time I get to making the eighth ball, it usually comes out a little too small or a little too big.  That small difference is due to rounding, so it dawned on me one day that a rounding error with grams is way smaller.  So I now make 85-gram ground chuck balls, like you see below, and life is a little easier.

An ounces-to-grams conversion is available at the link below.
