Since we have people here who will use both metric and imperial, I thought a link to a set of conversion tables might be handy:
www.recipes4us.co.uk/conv...charts.htm Voila! (If someone has something they think is better or more useful, just let one of the global mods know and we can pin it up here). |

Splendid idea Creac!
When I first came to the US I was *lost* without my little pyrex measuring jug and set of scales, those were the first couple of things I bought here. |

I have always lived in America and I still friggin hate some of the fractions. especialy when you got to make somthing in portions or less or more of somthing.
Metric is so braindead simple! this 3/9 5/18 14/16 crap is just goofy.. This is the computer age.. USE DECIMALS!!! uses decimal values of 0 thru 9 or 00 through 99.. is it that hard to do that since 99% of everything in the world(including in US) uses the ten base numbers with decimals? That is my rant.. thx |

I've started using Google Calculator for my cooking conversions. It's pretty good as long as you tell it what unit you want your result in.
1 Cup in Ounces 1 Cup in milliliters I've found it's pretty handy for almost any unit conversion. -Joe
