Overview

Annotates US cooking units with their metric equivalent (e.g. 1 3/4 cups sugar [350 g])

Do you have no idea what "a stick of butter" is, or how to measure "a cup plus two tablespoons"? This add-on provides a button that when pressed, annotates US cooking units with their metric equivalent, while also trying to convert from volumes to weights, such that you can simply use your kitchen scale. Examples, where the part in [] would be added by this add-on: * I used about 1/4 to 1/3 of a cup [60–80 ml] * 3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons packed light-brown sugar [190 g] * 1 1/2 sticks chilled unsalted butter [175 g] * a tablespoon of heavy cream [15 g] * 2/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano [65 g] * sides about 2 1/2 to 3 inches [6.5–7.5 cm] high * ¾ cup plus 2 Tbs sugar [175 g] * mandoline set to 1/16th of an inch [2 mm]. * a 5- to 6-quart [4.75–5.75 l] heavy pot * between 12 ounces and a pound [350–450 g] * at about 350-380 degrees (F) [175–195 °C] * Butter a 13- by 9- by 2-inch [32.5×22.5×5 cm] baking pan

Turns everything into ml. Then I have to search again how much is it in grams. Not really useful.

I'm tired of constantly googling these odd US metrics - this is a great idea and it works very well! I tested it on a bunch of sides including https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cooking_weights_and_measures. It doesn't do tables it seems, but for plain text it works great. Awesome that it can catch "worded arithmetics" like this one: "Mix 3/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp of flour [110 g]". As of now I haven't encountered any conversion issues. edit: it doesn't catch that "worded arithmetic" sentence in the c... Show more
