First of all Conversions are stupid and a pain in the gonads. Why do them at all? All you need is Metric 'cups' and 'spoons'. How come it is so dang hard looking and buying anything Metric in America? I mean come on, the same companies that sell in America sell around the World, too, and they sell metric products everywhere (but here), so why do they not sell those same products here, too? All the products are made over seas anyway. America do not want to make things anymore, and yet we are forced to buy and have two sets of tools (garage not kitchen) in our household and companies, Funny is it not? The recipes would not change any at all, you can use the same 'cup' and 'spoon', but it would be a Metric 'cup' and not an American 'cup'. The ratio would be the exactly the same, but you may end up with a little bit more, because the Metric 'cup' is 250 ml vs. the 237 ml American 'cup'. There would absolutely no difference in 'taste'.

Thanks for posting this as I'm not at all familiar with the metric system and I've avoided making recipes when they use the metric system.

I absolutely agree with metricCook! I am American and proud to be one, but we do tend to be lazy when it comes to matters of international diversity and expect everyone else to do all the changing and occomodating...as a "whole" I mean of course, not all of us!!
