Recipe in here for German dishes called for 500g of pork schnitzel. Does anyone know how much and what this is? When I go to the store, if the person I asked doesn't know they ask around until they come up with reasonable response. Rather than making them more upset about their work, could I just ask someone here? I even wrote the editor of our local paper and she said go to Google but I had time trying to figure the amount. I must admit I did try to find out before asking you.

if i go to google and type in:

500g to pounds

it tells me [size=+1]500 grams = 1.10231131 pounds

[/size]does that help?

500g is about 1.1 lb - we don't work in cups in the UK or Europe.


I know that one of the mods kindly put conversion charts on a few of the fora on here, I think there's one on the dessert and/or meat sections.

Oops, sorry, HA..... I got sidetracked when typing my message (above) and didn't see that you had replied to ITK!

schnitzel is a pounded steak as you would for veal or chicken piccata

thanks for your time

appreciate all responses. Did find post that had all breakdown of different measures.

A pork tenderloin is perfect for this dish. It's about the right weight and very tender. I slice the tenderloin into 1/2" to 3/4" slices then pound then into scallopine.

scallopine?

Not sure of what that is, but will check dictionary. About how long does it take you to make scallopine?

 

[Andy M.]

A scallopine is just the pounded out slices of pork. You flatten them out like you would a veal cutlet.
