US to UK measure guide.
Use this helpful guide to find baking and cooking conversions between metric, imperial and US cup measures.
Convert carefully
For most home cooks, an extra gram or two of an ingredient won't make much of a difference. Once you start working with larger quantities, however, precision counts: an incorrect measurement can throw off a ratio and ruin a recipe. Proper ingredient measurements are especially important in baking. If you're working with larger quantities, especially in baking, seek out a precise conversion tool on the internet, or use a search engine to convert between metric and imperial.
Volume
When measuring liquid, cooking measurements are quite straightforward:
Metric-Imperial -US cups
250ml - 8 fl oz - 1 cup
180ml - 6 fl oz - 3/4 cup
150ml - 5 fl oz - 2/3 cup
120ml - 4 fl oz - 1/2 cup
75ml - 2 1/2 fl oz - 1/3 cup
60ml - 2 fl oz - 1/4 cup
30ml - 1 fl oz - 1/8 cup
15ml - 1/2 fl oz - 1 tablespoon

Spoons!
Ever stop to wonder about teaspoons, dessertspoons and tablespoons? Here are their metric equivalents. But first:

Reposted from @thinkingaboutdinner Some days you just crave meat. Busy one so quick BBQ burgers and a German bratwurst. I've really seem to crave red meat and prefer it over every meal at the moment. Simple steak mince with garlic, onion, oregano and pepper on the gas grill. #ketofood #ketorecipes #livingketo #lchfuk #hflcuk #myweightlossjourneyuk #easyketo #simpleketo #keto #ketojourney #lowcarbhighfat #ifitfitsyourmacros #ketodiet #ketolifestyle #lowcarbdiet #ketouk #ketofood #ketosis #fatforfuel #ketobeginner #newtoketo #ukketo #obesetobeast #lowcarblife #ukweightloss - #regrann Follow us 💻👇 Www.news-upnow.com https://www.instagram.com/p/CDtUklRgTgh/?igshid=1n7r64rjp1cxw
Loving cod smothered in pesto wrapped in Parma ham with buttered veggies and oven baked prawns (in the butter sauce from the cod). I ended up with leftovers! Cheeky monkeys! The broccoli arrived tonight picked from the farm four miles away and made it straight on the plate. #pestocod #pesto #allthefats #allnatural #ketomeal #ketogenic #ketogoals #eatlocal #eatorganic #organicmeals #ketokids #lchfuk #banting #highfatmeals #goodfatsaregood #codrecipes #parmaham #broccolitrees
