I couldn't live without the website below...gives you every conversoin you need to know..metric imperial etc. hope this helps:

and i hope it explains that liquid ounces and weight ounces don't convert the same way so you need to know what type of ounces you are discussing too cause 6 ounces of beef isn't a liquid measure and will not equal 3/4th of a cup.

Well, thanks for telling me this.

Is there a site where I can convert? I checked sadie's link and sadly it didn't help me. :confused

Oh and my question was initially because of this:

That link helped me a lot, but I don't know how much is 6 ounces of BEEF or 2 cups of salad (Is it, 2 cups as you messure liquids, or?)

Thanks.

In most cases, solids (like beef or other solid proteins that come in chunks) are in ounces -- by weight -- and liquids are in fluid ounces -- by volume -- unfortunately, most people don't distinguish between the two and just shorthand with 'ounces'.

A Cup is always 8 fluid ounces or a volume measure, how much space is taken up by the ingredient. So yes, 2 Cups of salad fills up 2 1-Cup measuring Cups.

Note that anything usually measured in Cups, like flour or other powders, is being measured in 'fluid' ounces, though it's not liquid. Because it flows like liquid to take up the space (volume), it's an easy to use measure.

The beef (a solid or chunk) is 6 ounces by weight and since a pound of beef, for example, is 16 ounces by weight, that is 6/16ths or 3/8ths of a pound of beef as a serving size.

Me, I prefer to use Grams for solids/weight and Cups/MilliLiters (always spelled out) for liquids/volumes. And I try to specify both Grams and Cups for ingredients like flour in my baking recipes. European style. It keeps things MUCH tidier and the amounts more accurate.

When things get messy, I use a little calculator/converter I have on my computer at home. There's an online version or two out there, try one of these:
http://www.eclecticcooking.com/conver3k.zip this downloads a zipped one
http://www.curezone.com/conversions.asp a variety of tables and online converters
http://www.baking911.com/howto_measure_metric.htm GREAT info about measuring, baking AND a converter....


Hope this helps?
