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! Smiley

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/  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.
