I think for baking this is difficult and I sometimes advise people to buy a cheap pair of scales.Sarahhttp://www.tasty-german-recipe.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687625285790720747.post-5952741702337098432009-05-20T20:18:02.888+08:002009-05-20T20:18:02.888+08:00sahm - you're welcome. yeah sometimes i also go by 'agaration', but at least if you get a good basis of it first, then it should give us a rough idea.<br /><br />mei wah - agree. i also heard that in Europe, some take it that one stick of butter is 250g... but butters do come in 125 grammage too.. sometimes really confusing.<br /><br />superman - ya different countries adopt diff measures.. europe still use pounds too.. and my mom's old recipe book has old measurements too.. some like Kati and Chupak!<br /><br />Yan - yes, i sure hope this conversion of some of these basic cooking ingredients helps us especially some recipes that look really good. Some good recipe books I have are in US measurements.FAD MOMhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01406781677839389980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687625285790720747.post-78935640388742938922009-05-18T13:39:00.000+08:002009-05-18T13:39:00.000+08:00Like Mei-Wah, I also shy away from the recipe with cup measurement!<br /><br />Now that you have done us "baker queens" such a great favour - there is no reason for us to avoid recipe with cups again!<br /><br />Thank you.Yanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01469410555556500811noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6687625285790720747.post-67715873662781811992009-05-18T12:14:00.000+08:002009-05-18T12:14:00.000+08:00It is always very confusing on the conversion of the value.

I know I cup of sugar is not = to 1 cup of flour due to different density, but sometimes dont know how to convert so just agak agak, so I would like to believe that soemtimes when my cakes dont come out well,its not me but the recipe!! :Dstay-at-home mumhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04977522411804549074noreply@blogger.com
