Weight/ Measure Conversion Table

I have European and American readers in equal quantities. I make American and European goodies in equal quantities. So everyone at some point will probably need this page!

Conversion tables

 
All these are approximate conversions, which have either been rounded up or down. In a few recipes, it has been necessary to modify them very slightly. Never mix metric and imperial measures in one recipe; stick to one system or the other.
