WEIGHT
The two most commonly used units of weight (or mass) measurement for cooking in the U.S. are the ounce and the pound. Do not confuse the ounce of weight with the fluid ounce, because they are not the same; there is no standard conversion between weight and volume unless you know the density of the ingredient. To make matters worse, there are different kinds of weight measurement; Avoirdupois weight, Troy weight, and Apothecaries weight. In the U.S., when someone refers to pounds and ounces of weight (especially in cooking) they are usually referring to Avoirdupois weight.

Basic Cooking Rule:
16 ounces = 1 pound

COUNTING:
Many foods are sold in quantities of dozen or gross. Eggs are a good example of something that you buy by the dozen. When refering to more than one dozen or gross, you do not add an “s” to the end; instead, you precede the word by the amount as follows.

Usage Examples:
One dozen eggs
Three dozen people
Five gross of pencils

It is also very common to use the phrase “half dozen” to mean six.

1 Dozen = 12
1 Gross = 12 Dozen or 144
