Cooking with a Wok [antikvár]

Useful Facts and FiguresNotes on metricationIn 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.Liquid measures The millilitre has been used in this book and the following table gives a few examples.OuncesApprox gRecommendedto nearestconversion towhole figurenearest unit of 25I2825257503857541131005142150617017571982008227225925525010283275113123001234035013368375143964001542542516 (lib)45445017482475185105001953955020 (lilb)567575Note: 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 kg (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.ImperialApprox ml to nearest whole figureRecommended ml3 pint142150 mlI pint283300 ml?pint425450 ml1 pint567600 mlli pints851900 mlI| pints9921000 ml (1 litre)Spoon measures All spoon measures given in this book are level unless otherwise stated. Can sizes At present, cans are marked with the exact (usually to the nearest whole number) metric equivalent of the Imperial weight of the contents, so we have followed this practice when giving can sizes.
