VOLUME-TO-WEIGHT CONVERSION GUIDE
Ingredients such as our can vary widely in density. In order to achieve the most consistent
results, we recommend measuring these ingredients by weight, not volume.
For recipes that only provide volume measurements, the chart below provides a good starting
point for converting to grams. As you repeat a recipe, you can adjust as needed to nd the
optimal weight measurement for each dry ingredient to get the best results, every time.

USING THE SIFTER+SCALE ATTACHMENT
SIFTER+SCALE CONFIGURATIONS
The Sifter+Scale attachment is compatible with all household KitchenAid Stand Mixers,
including all accessory stainless steel, glass, and ceramic bowls. It is not compatible with the
Precise Heat Mixing Bowl, Ice Cream Maker, or the Pouring Shield.
The Sifter+Scale attachment can be used in multiple ways: to weigh and sift ingredients while
slowly feeding them into the mixer bowl or into a separate container, to weigh and feed
ingredients without sifting, and to weigh ingredients on your countertop.
To weigh, sift, and slowly feed ingredients into
mixer bowl or separate container: Use the complete
attachment for recipes calling for ingredients to be
sifted and fed slowly into the mixer bowl or a separate
container.
To weigh and feed ingredients into bowl without
sifting: Use the attachment without the sifter when
weighing and feeding larger ingredients, such as whole
oats, that do not need to be sifted. To add those
ingredients slowly, you can limit the ow by using the
ingredient valve.
To use as a countertop scale: Set the scale on your
countertop or table and place the lid/scale plate on
top.
ATTACHING THE SIFTER HOUSING TO THE STAND MIXER
Before using your Sifter+Scale for the rst time, wipe the ingredient hopper, sifter assembly,
and swivel chute with a warm damp cloth, then wipe clean with a damp cloth. Do not wash the
sifter housing or digital scale. Dry with a soft cloth. See the “Care and cleaning” section for
complete instructions.
