Ah well. I still love it and I’m not going to hurt its feelings by telling it that it’s only “customary” and not “imperial”.
It is lovely. But, it will teach you a system that is still in use. I don't think anyone uses Imperial measure anymore, though many Americans think that's what their system is called.![]()
The US dropped the imperial system some time in the 1830s. They had just kept on using what they were used to. Then the Brits updated their system and the US decided that they had no reason to do that, just because the Brits were doing it and they have been in charge of their own similar system every since. But, they have considered using metric since Thomas Jefferson was president.Hey, I know there is a difference. However, I've never used Imperial measure, and never bothered to look into it.

Now that I didn’t know.they have considered using metric since Thomas Jefferson was president.
Love Recipe Tin Eats. Fabulous recipes there. Was planning to explore it today to check for new recipes I'd like to try.Recipe Tins Eat is very good. The second book, Tonight, is equally as good.
I’m not the biggest fan of Woks of Life. They have loads of advertising on the site and always seem to be shilling their own stuff (bombardment emails, no extra charge).
I got this today:

Uranium glass measuring jug - 5 cup capacity.
For anyone who has been following the weather thread in Off Topic, this jug has all marker measurements in imperial! It will learns me!
their recipes with hints here and there that go beyond their posts.
@Kathleen that's what I like about their site. If you want to know more about a certain product they provide a link. eg. Soy sauce - they explain about the different ones and their uses plus which ones they personally like and even if there are different favourites within the family, LOL.Woks of Life.

Um, where did you get those numbers? Did you do some of the converting yourself? 5 US cups = 40 US fluid oz. I only checked the equivalents in that chart that I know off by heart - US cups in US fluid ounces and Imprerial cups in Imperial fluid ounces. Your chart is right for the Imperial cups to Imperial fluid ounces. I did check again on the US cups to ounces and I had remembered correctly.5 Imperial Cups = 50 Imperial fluid ounces
5 Imperial Cups = 48.038 U.S. fluid ounces
5 U.S. Cups = 40.5768 U.S. fluid ounces
5 U.S. Cups = 42.3421 Imperial fluid ounces
There you go Jade you can pin this to your cupboard. Of course, each cup lower than 5 gets significantly lower each time.
And most people don't know the difference mainly because their measuring cups don't say where they were made nor which system is being used.
I have calculator apps that convert stuff both in Windows and in Android.I just learned of a quick easy conversion calculator for iPhone users.
It's part of the calculator app. Open the app, then tap the calculator icon in the lower left. Activate the CONVERT function and there rest is easy.
It's a new feature added with recent update.I have calculator apps that convert stuff both in Windows and in Android.
I'm surprised that you just found out about that. Well, at least you did find out.

Thank you, Andy!!It's a new feature added with recent update.
Are you giving me a homework assignment? I know it's incorrect. I have now pointed out to other people that it is incorrect, so they will know that they should check, if it might matter to them.Have no idea which I used for the conversions. I don't find the difference big enough to worry about it. Was just having fun trying to prove that some are big and some are small.
If you think they are grossly out of whack and might mislead someone to overdose then feel free to go ahead and correct it.
As I said earlier - I don't worry about it.
Is the tool like this? https://www.amazon.ca/Chopper-Ground-Resistant-Hamburger-Utensil/dp/B08JLC49HY?th=1A while ago I got tired of poking at ground beef with a spatula in a skillet to break it up. I ordered a plastic meat chopper. I used it for the first time tonight and I was amazed at how well it works. In expensive and effective. Great buy.
I finally got around to trying your method yesterday, when chopping up the bulk sausage meat for the soup. It worked a treat. I think you mentioned that it's a noisy method. It is, but worth it. I already have bamboo spatula and a large wooden spatula that doesn't have the slits. The two together worked well and I won't have to find a space for a new item. Thanks for the tip.Think I mentioned earlier(?) I tried the potato mashers (2 styles) and didn't like using either one. Love my two wood spatuala, two handed, a satisfying chop-chop karate style attack. It's great! It's fast! It works!
Also works to pick-up and stir fry style the meat around the pan to the best area in which to do the chop-chop, the middle.

Well, if you think the differences are big enough to warrant the homework then go for it. Keeps your mind agile? or so I'm told.Are you giving me a homework assignment? I know it's incorrect.
