All those conversions

[Labarum]

Do ever get in a pickle about how much is how much?

Google calculator will do the work for you.

The "in" function is wonderful

Insert values into the search box for an answer

Try

500g in oz

It will tell you

500 grams = 17.636981 ounces

or

3 oz in ml

3 US fluid ounces = 88.7205891 ml

It will even do

3 cups in oz

3 US cups = 24 US fluid ounces

or

3 cups in ml

3 US cups = 709.764713 ml

and even

6 teaspoons in oz

6 US teaspoons = 1 US fluid ounce

Read it for yourself

I use Google calculator all the time to work out how much is how much.

I use this all the time Brian it's brilliant!

We have a bit of an advantage here even though we're metric most products have both the metric and imperial measures on them. The one big issue i run into is the service sizes on packages are almost always only in metric. that's when i find it very handy.

That's sooo awesome!! I have some recipes at home that are in crazy measurements - now I can switch them over to our "wonderful" system (that nobody else uses) and make them!!

Re: All those conversions

Uggg, now I just need a guide that tells me how many grams a cup of every single different vegitable weighs. I hate trying to measure my veggies in cup form. The only one I know is that raw peppers weigh about 100g for a cup.
