COOKING IN AMERICA
A Note on Conversions:
The following charts offer equivalents for U.S. metric, and Imperial (U.K.) mea-
sures. All conversions are approximate and have been rounded up or down to
the nearest whole number. For example: 1 teaspoon = (about) 5 milliliters
* U.S. all-purpose flour is the most frequently used and does not contain leaveners, as
some European flours do. Leavened flours are called self-rising or self-raising. If you
do use self-rising flour, take this into consideration before adding leavening to a recipe.
** In the United States, butter is sold both salted and unsalted. Most recipes generally
recommend using unsalted butter. If you are using salted butter, take this into consid-
eration before adding salt to a recipe.
Subtract 32 degrees from the Fahrenheit reading, and then divide the
result by 1.8 to ascertain the Celsius reading.
For example, “Roast until the juices run clear when the chicken is cut
with a paring knife or the thickest part of the breast registers 160 degrees
on an instant-read thermometer.”
Happy Cooking!
