Scale question
I am new to baking and have a kitchen scale. The scale I have measure to .000 Lb's or to 1/8 of an OZ. Most of the recipes I see call for Grams. Am I ok with this for a while with a conversion chart available or should I go looking for a replacement scale. I would rather spend money on different flour and topping's today and maybe one of those fancy boule proofing bowels. I am just trying to make sure I am not complicating my life by starting with improper equiptment.
PS I am a from scratch home chef. I rarely measure ingredients for a recipe so this is a culture change for me. I would rather start correctly then develop bad habits that are hard to break.
