US/UK measure guide and conversion tables

[mod]

A couple of very useful conversion charts:

conversion chart with "the gram equivalent for different ingredients" in alphabetical order to US cups

http://www.germancorner.com/recipes/hints/conversion_chart_d-p.html

and (just in case)

US-Imperial-Metric conversion tables

http://convert.french-property.co.uk/

Hope that helps.

This is my favorite and easiest site for conversion.

One cup is almost 1/4 of a liter. To make a quick 1 cup dry measure cut a plastic water bottle to the 1/4 liter mark. There are 16 american tablespoons in one cup.

1 ounce is 28.34 grams if you have a ditigel scale

The more numerate may just prefer to type an expression into Google
- it will return the answer.

Conversions it handles well.

For example, you may enter

15 fl oz in ml
half cup in teaspoons

Re: US/UK measure guide and conversion tables

i guess i am really old, i just know how much two ounces is, and how much a half a cup is without measuring. i never used a measuing cup on my weight loss i know i never cheated my self, and doubt i over did it either. two heaping spoons of cottage cheese is a half a cup, i guess that is from years of weighing stuff on weight watchers, i have the measuring thing down to my eyes only, i also get those two ounce to go containers from sams and i store my cheese, sour cream, cream cheese deserts in them and know one is two ounce and two are a half a cup, other than that i just use my eyes or spoon
