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.
US, UK, Canada, Australia and New-Zealand
If you read a recipe in English measurements :
always use the ‘local’ conversions below :
– when you are using US recipes, you are supposed to use the US measurements
– when you are using Australian recipes, you are supposed to use the Australian measurements
- cup
- 1 cup = half a pint

Eggs
Eggs used in recipes are the ones you buy in the supermarket :
they are about 60 grams or 2 oz and are called "large"
If you raise your own chicken like the mother of The Skinny Cook,
be aware that a small egg can weigh even less than 40 grams or just about over 1 oz, so adjust your recipes accordingly, especially in baking recipes: always weigh your eggs!
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)
