I'm sure many of you are familiar with the age-old problem of trying to use American recipes. Everything's in cups!
Or, as happened to me the other day, your scales run out of battery in the middle of baking a cake...
A quick google search rescued me from a trip out to the shops: gourmetsleuth.com.
Gourmet Sleuth allows you to search for any ingredient, select the exact ingredient you need to measure, and choose your conversion factors. So I discovered that 150g granulated sugar is 0.75 cups (3/4 a cup)!
It's this simple: go to http://www.gourmetsleuth.com/cooking-conversions/cooking-conversions-calculator.aspx, and:
- Type in the ingredient and press enter.
- Narrow the results by selecting a category (sugar is in "Sweets").
- Select the right ingredient.
- Enter the amount you know, and the conversion measurement you want.
- Click convert - and the answer appears at the top!
Genius!
