However, in the modern avoirdupois system used in the US and UK, an ounce is 1/16th of a pound. This unit is critical for precision in non-metric cooking and for measuring precious metals (though gold uses the 'troy ounce', which is slightly heavier). ounces are commonly used in Steak and meat portioning, Postal letter weights, Precious metals (Troy oz), and Liquid volume (fluid oz - different unit), Spices and seasonings.
