Raw Food Forums

Hi  I am new to this site and have been raw for a few months now.   I am from the USA and finding myself visiting this site and other Australian sites quite often.   I really like this site.    I'd like to know if there is a chart out there that gives us the equivilant US measure when reading a recipe that has metric.   I am familiar with sites where you insert the measure you have for what you want, but I am looking for something in chart form.   One recipe just said 4 cm, for example and I don't know what that is.   That would be so helpful to have.

Thanks

Hi Apple.

Welcome to the board! :)

This is probably one of the sites you are already familiar with as it's not in chart form, but it really is the easiest to use. http://www.onlineconversion.com/ (http://www.onlineconversion.com/)  A chart would have to be pretty big to hold all the metric equivalents.

Hi Apple,

Like Stargirl, I find that the online conversion tools are much simpler to use - but I don't have a good head for maths.

If it helps, 4cm is a unit of length.

Here's a small table of some conversions which might be useful.  It is more confusing for folks like me!  :laugh:

Thank you both, Stargirl and miss g for sending the links and will try checking them out again later, but I am still not sure....just am not good at this, I guess.    It might just be easier for me to stick with what I do understand than to stop and figure out what a certain unit of measure is.  That's okay, I'll get it eventually, lol.

Well, I can't really offer anything the others haven't but I can give you some specific help - 2.5cm = 1 inch so 4cm = approx 1.5 inches.
