Could You Be Less Specific in Your Measures?
We are forever exhorting American readers to purchase kitchen scales Ochef is getting very good at listing cooking temperatures in both Fahrenheit and Celsius. We are less observant right now of including the metric system in our measurements, but that will surely have to change. Whenever we refer to a gallon, we are referring to the American measure – 128 fluid ounces, 16 of our cups, 8 of our pints, 4 of our quarts, 231 cubic inches, 3.785 liters, or 8.33 pounds of water at 62 °F (16.6°C). The Imperial gallon is 20 percent larger than our gallon, or 160 Imperial fluid ounces, 4.546 liters, or 10 pounds of water at 62 °F (16.6°C). The Imperial measures seem to be giving ground to the metric system more readily than the American systems of weights and measures, which we, as a society, appear to be holding onto for dear life. Ochef will try to be clearer going forward. |
