As the title says, why do we use Liters/milliliters for liquids instead of kilograms/grams?
In: Other
liters/ml are measuring volume (the space something takes up. kg/g measure the weight of an object. you can absolutely use either for an item (my recipes all list liquids in grams) however the numbers will not be the same. 100g of milk is 103ml, 100g of corn oil is 105ml. generally wieght will always be more accurate for a measurement but many people prefer using ml due to a measuring cup being a more common item than a scale.
