Volume Dialog

Here you can convert a volume to weight. Many recipes are using volume and this needs to be converted to weight. The calculator always uses weight in grams for all ingredients so if you want to convert a recipe where the ingredients are in volume you can use this dialog to convert.

Some ingredients have a density set and if it has this is indicated in the drop down list by the ingredient name inside <> brackets. If the ingredient does not have a density defined you will have to select from the list a similar ingredient to be as accurate as possible.
