Conversion Charts

Many people actually own conversion charts to make preparing meals easier. Whether you want to half the recipe, or double the recipe, conversion charts simply make cooking easier.

Have you seen Online Conversions? I love this site. It has conversions for everything, but their cooking area is great offering a way to not only convert standard sizes, but can sizes as well. In addition, it offers weight, volume and even oven temperature conversion to make things much easier, especially when a recipe comes from somewhere besides your home country. I love this site the most for conversions.

In addition to online conversions as a source for cooking conversion charts, there is also Convert Me which is a great site but has popups that annoy the heck out of me. It is accurate and helpful and has much more to offer than the first site if you can get past the annoyance.

Of course, I don’t like to stop what I’m doing when I am working in the kitchen, so I purchased a conversion chart that is magnetic and sticks to the side of my fridge. I love it. I got one free a few months back from a business in my junk mail. It was strange, but it has a few conversions the other chart doesn’t have, but the one I bought has much more.

Do you have a conversion chart?
