Measuring 525 grams on a kithcen scale
The best and easiest way to measure 525 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.
- To measure exactly 525 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).
- Then, place a container on the scale and "zero" the scale so that it reads 0 grams with the container on it.
- Next, slowly add the ingredient to the container until the scale reads 525 grams.
- Adjust the amount. If the scale reads less than 525 grams, add the ingredient one teaspoon at a time. If it reads more than 525 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 525 grams it's totally okay to measure 1-2 grams more or less.
That's it, you've just measured 525 grams on a scale!
