![]() ![]() Get up to date, be modern, use a scale, they make them specialy for in the kitchen.Īnalog with a clock hand and digital with numbers, the easiest way of cooking. My grandmother 100 years ago was cooking like that. You can not measure weight in volume, one exeption in metric one litre of water is one kilogram, ond 1000 litre is one ton or 1000kg. Now when I come across an american recipe, I disregard it, to much hassle to convert it into weights. Measuring weights in volumes, today I found a recipe with 7/8 cups of butter, how do you measure that, putting your cup on a scale, filling it to the top and scoop than 1/8 out again ? Or a question above, 4 cups of chopped apple, exact, that is like asking for a perpetium mobile (a machine that works for ever without adding energie), an imposibility, the person who made that recipe should have added the size of the chopped parts, and than it can not work, if one is using a tall measuring cup of a wide one. Since I started looking for recipes on the internet, I have been wondering about american cooking. Didn’t work at all! Technique aside, I’m convinced this is due to the huge variations in how people measure their ingredients using imperial measurement. No fail! But there are also reviewers of the same recipe saying the exact opposite. If you read the reviews of a recipe, in almost every case, there will be reviewers saying this was the best thing ever. This is honestly what made me change my mind about weight measurement. If you need 3 or 4 cups, this can make a huge difference in the outcome. I wondered if converting a recipe is really an attempt to make something that is inherently imprecise more accurate by using weight? What I mean to say is that if the author of a recipe has a heavy hand scooping flour into a cup, the weight of this “cup” can be a range of 140 – 180 gm. I’ve converted some recipes to metric and found they didn’t work. My baking recipes turn out so much better. I hope you enjoyed learning all about measurement.Once I tried it, I am a convert and believer in weight measurement vs. I decided to get my own thermometer, so I can learn all about this. And you can bake cookies in your oven at a temperature of 180 degrees Celsius, which is 356 degrees Fahrenheit. ![]() Water boils at 100 degrees Celsius or 212 degrees Fahrenheit.A hot sunny day with a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius is 86 degrees in Fahrenheit.but on the right side it shows 32 degrees Fahrenheit.He then gave me an example: when water freezes the thermometer shows: Tom said that some people like one scale and some like the other, and that I should learn both! Tom explained that a thermometer measures in degrees (°) of either Celsius or Fahrenheit. I was feeling a bit hot, so I asked Tom how to measure temperature. Most people refer to miles when they are driving, biking or jogging.ġ mile = 1,760 yards = 5,280 feet = 63,360 inches Miles are long distances and are mostly used to measure the distance between places which are far away from each other. When you put together 1,760 yards, you have a mile. The length of this guitar is about 1 yard. (This isn't the same thing as a lawn, though they are both referred to as a "yard"!) When 3 feet are together, this is called a yard. Using 12 inches put together to make one foot lets everyone have an accurate picture of what exactly a "foot" of length is. But everyone has different sized feet so it did not work very well. What Are The Different Systems Of Measurement The imperial system of measurement originated in Britain in the 1800s. When we have 12 inches together, it is known as a foot.Ī long time ago, people used their feet to measure things. Gallons are a unit of measurement that follows two different systems: the imperial system and the U.S. Measuring in inches gives us a way for everyone to understand the size of something. Lots of things are measured in inches from rainfall to paper length. The last joint of your finger or thumb is about 1 inch (depending on how big your fingers are!). ![]()
