You got them on meters and liters as well?

• IgorPartola 7y ago
  Liters don’t come up much and those are going to be a lot harder given that every gas station is in gallons only. Meters no, centimeters yes. They are 6 so they mostly measure small stuff. I use grams for cooking too. Who thought that “1 cup of cheese” was a reasonable measurement?

    >Who thought that “1 cup of cheese” was a reasonable measurement?, It’s easier to use a 1 cup scoop to grab something quickly than it is to weigh something out.

      Which cup?
      • IgorPartola 7y ago
        In case you are not from the US, an official freedom unit of volume is a cup which equals 8 fluid ounces (not the same as ounces which are a unit of weight; yeah it really is that dumb). Almost all cooking recipes use teaspoons (5ml), tablespoons (15 ml), or fractions of a cup (1 fluid oz, 29 ml or so), including for measuring things like cheese, herbs, pasta, etc. No American recipe website will ever say “use 200 grams of butter), it will tell you how many cups of butter to use.

          And American Fluid Oz are not the same as real Imperial Fluid Oz which is another difference to work with.

          Or how many sticks of margarine, according to their favourite margarine brand.
