Weights and Measures: A Converter for the Kilo & Liter Crowd

[Meryl]

In case any of our non-USA BetterMostians would like to contribute recipes, here's a converter for the weights and measures:

It works both ways, so if you'd like to just give us the recipe in your own measurements, we can go here and figure it out, too.

Another more general converter is the Google Calculator.  The way it works, you just enter in an expression like this into Google:

4 cups in liters
375 f in c
10 fl oz in ml

And so on.  Give it a try.  Google Calculator knows a ridiculous number of units and can convert between them.  Here's an example:

65.1 million cubits per fortnight in miles per hour

Which of course comes from the Sammy Hagar hit song, "I Can't Drive 65.1 Megacubits Per Fortnight."

Thanks Meryl  . It's very convenient to convert so many measures at one page instead of googling and searching every time.

Thanks, John, I didn't know Google was even more talented than I thought! 

Chrissi, I hope this means you'll be giving us more goodies to cook up!
