500 Recipes for Chicken Dishes [antikvár]

Useful facts and figures Notes on metrication In this book quantities are given in metric and Imperial measures. Exact conversion from Imperial to metric measures does not usually give very convenient working quantities and so the metric measures have been rounded off into units of 25 grams. The table below shows the recommended equivalents. Ounces Approx g to nearest whole figure Recommended conversion to nearest unit of 25 1 28 25 2 57 50 3 85 75 4 113 100 5 142 150 6 170 175 7 198 200 8 227 225 9 255 250 10 283 275 II 312 300 12 340 350 13 368 375 14 396 400 15 425 425 16 (1 lb) 454 450 17 482 475 18 510 500 19 539 550 20(lilb) 567 575 Note: When converting quantities over 20 oz first add the appropriate figures in the centre column, then adjust to the nearest unit of 25. As a general guide, 1 w (1000 g) equals 2-2 lb or about 2 lb 3 oz. This method of conversion gives good results in nearly all cases although in certain pastry and cake recipes a more accurate conversion is necessary to produce a balanced recipe.
