Ounces and Fluid ounces

Fluid ounces are measured by volume rather than by a scale.  There are 8 fluid ounces in a cup.  A cup equals a half pint or about 235 ml.

Make sure you  :

Type in the quantity you want to convert
• e.g. 2
Then choose what you want to convert in what :
• convert dry measurements to dry measurements
• e.g. : DRY "teaspoon" to DRY "grams"
• liquid measurements to liquid measurements
• e.g. LIQUID "fluid ounce" to LIQUID "milliliter"
• temperatures to temperatures
• e.g. TEMPERATURE "Fahrenheit" to TEMPERATURE "Celsius"

Eggs

Eggs used in recipes are the ones you buy in the shop :
the are about 60 grams or 2 oz and are called "large"

If you rare your own chicken like the Skinny Cook,
be aware that a skinny egg can weigh less than 40 grams or just about 1 oz, so adjust your recipes accordingly!

Egg Tips :

Always look at the expiring date when buying eggs.In the best conditions, eggs can be stored for 1 month. Remember that "day of package" can be later than "day of having the egg laid" by the hen.
Let eggs (and butter) warm up to room temperature before using them (especially in pastry recipes)
