OT-Metric Conversion Help ?

lkapigian

Ok, so more and more I understand metric is to calculate % than imperial--and the more things I do like curing and sausage it is quite clear---My struggle is when a Dry Ingredient is in ML vs Grams or MG  IE 15 ML of Pepper WTF how much does that weigh...........Please enlighten this Imperial User

So i think i have it 1 TSP = 5 ML ?

15ML is a tablespoon. Here’s a pretty neat website with conversion tables.

If you have an Echo, Alexa can do any conversions you want on the fly.

I can never remember how many rods in a furlong but Alexa always comes thru!

Every time I hear the word furlong I think of horse racing and your comment made me think "$100 on Alexa to WIN"

There’s a handy iPhone utility app, “Units”.

Google it.  Just google unit.  Should be fine.

I thin there is a sausage making app called grinder that also has some unit conversions.

Trap?  I’ve been using the app 7 or 8 years - converts units in more categories than you knew existed, including the basics: length, weight, temperature, volume...

Sorry, that was my 13 yo son that got my phone.  He laughs whenever people say unit.

@theyolksonyou did your son grab your phone too?

Yeah, but she laughs at me when I step out of the shower now.  Beotch.

But if you convert to millimeters, whatever you might be measuring in the bathroom sounds enormous.

Thus the reason I now quote metric

Search for "Emsa Perfect Beaker." Has both imperial and metric scale markings. It has a conical shape w. helps dry ingredients pack more uniformly, tho' its lowest marking is 30ml/ccm, 6 teaspoons. Pretty useful, and inexpensive.

I searched and got this.  Think I'm doing it wrong.
