| Measuring Guide |
| I'm going to try to put all of the measurements on this site in both the American Standard and in Metric, but here is a basic guide... |
| Example Recipe |
| 1/4 American cup = 1/4 Metric cup = 60ml 1/2 American cup = 1/2 Metric cup = 125ml 3/4 American cup = 3/4 Metric cup = 185ml 1 American cup = 1 Metric cup = 250ml = 1/4 litre 2 American cups = 2 Metric cups = 500ml = 1/2 litre 3 American cups = 3 Metric cups = 750ml = 3/4 litre 4 American cups = 4 Metric cups = 1000ml = 1 litre 1/2 Pound = 250 g = .25 kg 1 Pound = 500 g = .5 kg 2 Pounds = 1000 g = 1 kg 3 Pounds = 1500 g = 1.5 kg The American Standard and the Metric teaspoon and tablespoon are exactly the same. ( I use the abbreviations tbsp and tsp.) |
| 3 lbs (1.5 kg) chicken 4 cups water 2 medium onions 5 tbsp salt 2 tsp flour |
| This can be read like this... American Metric 3 lbs chicken 1.5 kg chicken 4 American cups water 4 Metric cups water 2 medium onions 2 medium onions 5 tablespoons salt 5 tablespoons salt 2 teaspoons flour 2 teaspoons water |
