METRIC CONVERSIONS
The recipes in this book have not been tested with metric measurements, so some variations might occur.
Remember that the weight of dry ingredients varies according to the volume or density factor: 1 cup of flour weighs far less than 1 cup of sugar, and 1 tablespoon doesn’t necessarily hold 3 teaspoons.
GENERAL FORMULA FOR METRIC CONVERSION
Ounces to grams multiply ounces by 28.35
Grams to ounces multiply ounces by 0.035
Pounds to grams multiply pounds by 453.5
Pounds to kilograms multiply pounds by 0.45
Cups to liters multiply cups by 0.24
Fahrenheit to Celsius subtract 32 from Fahrenheit temperature, multiply by 5, divide by 9
Celsius to Fahrenheit multiply Celsius temperature by 9, divide by 5, add 32
