One pound is 16 ounces, and an ounce is exactly 28.349523125 grams. A 12 ounce steak is therefore about 340.194 grams. The converter lists ounces next to pounds and kilograms, so you can read all three.

For parcels, many couriers charge in whole kilograms or pounds and round up, so check the exact weight before choosing a shipping option.

For baking, weigh ingredients in grams for the best results, and use the converter to translate American quantities precisely instead of relying on cup measures.
