Conversion of weightsand measures can some times be tricky and a real pain sometimes when converting American or Australian recipes to European (and vice versa), especially since not many realize their cup and tablespoon measurements are different.
Here is a quick reference on them, as well as conversions for oven temperatures. I shall keep this post on the footer of my blog, for easy reference.
Things get worse in Greece or Cyprus where our measurements are not very precise. The traditional recipes given by mother to daughter say some salt, little pepper, some rice, some parsley, a handful of that, a glass of this or a tea cup of that etc., and we have practically learnt cooking by experience.
Measurements with a glass:
Here is an example of measuring some ingredients in a regular glass of water:
1 glass of milk is 200 grams
1 glass of sugar is 215 grams
1 glass of flour is 130 grams.
However, the glass is not filled to the rim. My advice is the use the same glass to measure your ingredients.
I will try from now on to be more specific in my recipes and especially in baking.
I am cooking and baking my recipes again and shall try and update all the recipes which were posted before November, 2008. From now on, I shall be using either cups or grams, or tbsp or tsp, which are the ones shown below.
Personally I also have problems converting butter measurements and I am sure that others as well will have similar problems so according to some measurements I have found on the internet, I shall use these as a guideline for my recipes.
Weight conversion is necessary for record-keeping, which is usually in the metric system and for educating patients using a non-metric system. These are some common conversion factors: 1 lb = 16 oz = 453gm = 0.45 kg.
The weight of an object due to the influence of gravity would be different on the Earth than on the Moon. The weight formula can be explained as follows: Weight = mass × gravity. The formula for this is: w = mg.
A high amount of body fat can lead to weight-related diseases and other health issues. Being underweight is also a health risk. Body Mass Index (BMI) and waist circumference are screening tools to estimate weight status in relation to potential disease risk.
Weights and measurement are important information that enables people to quantify many things in life, ranging from mass and length to area and volume.
The Weights and Measures Division promotes uniformity in U.S. weights and measures laws, regulations, and standards to achieve equity between buyers and sellers in the marketplace.
What Is the Conversion Method? The conversion method is the process of converting a business's accounting from single-entry to double-entry. New small businesses often use single-entry bookkeeping as a quick and simple way to record their income and expenses.
A conversion factor is a number used to change one set of units to another, by multiplying or dividing. When a conversion is necessary, the appropriate conversion factor to an equal value must be used. For example, to convert inches to feet, the appropriate conversion value is 12 inches equal 1 foot.
One pound is approximately equal to 0.45359237 kilograms (kg). The conversion of the pound to kilograms is done by multiplying the given pound value and 0.45359237.
What is Weight? It is the measure of the force of gravity acting on a body. The formula for weight is given by: w = mg. As weight is a force its SI unit is also the same as that of force, SI unit of weight is Newton (N).
Ideal body weight is computed in men as 50 + (0.91 × [height in centimeters − 152.4]) and in women as 45.5 + (0.91 × [height in centimeters − 152.4]). A simple alternative would be to compute ideal body weight as the weight corresponding to an ideal body mass index of 22 kg/m2.
To be conversion, a taking of property must be without the owner's consent. There must be some act giving the taker some control over the object, though actual physical removal is not essential. The taking need not be malicious or even knowledgeable.
We provide here the most common methods for assessing body composition, including anthropometry, body density, and dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DXA).
It Helps You Lose Weight and Maintain Your Weight Loss Long-Term. A weight management plan is not just a quick fix or a fast way to lose weight. Instead, it provides patients with the tools they need to lose weight, eat the right foods, and maintain their healthy weight long-term.
Ounce: An ounce is an imperial measure of weight. It is abbreviated as oz. An ounce is equivalent to 28.35 grams. Pound: A pound is an imperial unit of mass (or weight).
With the metric system, the formula for BMI is weight in kilograms divided by height in meters squared. Since height is commonly measured in centimeters, an alternate calculation formula, dividing the weight in kilograms by the height in centimeters squared, and then multiplying the result by 10,000, can be used.
