Measuring 31 grams on a kithcen scale

The best and easiest way to measure 31 grams at home for any ingredient is by using a kitchen scale.

It is also the most accurate as measuring by weight is often more precise than measuring by volume. So if you need to measure out ingredients by grams, I strongly suggest you to buy a kitchen scale or any appropriate scale.

  1. To measure exactly 31 grams on a kitchen scale, first turn on the scale and ensure it is set to the appropriate unit of measurement (grams in this case).
  2. Then, place a container on the scale and "zero" the scale so that it reads 0 grams with the container on it.
  3. Next, slowly add the ingredient to the container until the scale reads 31 grams.
  4. Adjust the amount. If the scale reads less than 31 grams, add the ingredient one teaspoon at a time. If it reads more than 31 grams, use a teaspoon to take out the ingredient bit by bit. Note: 1 gram is a tiny amount, so for most home uses of 31 grams it's totally okay to measure 1-2 grams more or less.

That's it, you've just measured 31 grams on a scale!
