    Cups are the devil's measure.

    If it's a solid food, use weight not volume.

    I tried using conversion tables for this when making a Canadian cookie recipe (for others!!) Did not work at all & had to go out & buy cups. So frustrating!!

    Totally agree. Always, ALWAYS use weight, not volume.

    I love Google for my conversions. I have it set as my home page and simply type in the search bar "How many x are in a y?" of course substituting the "x" and "y" for your units of measure in question.

    My thoughts exactly. 1 cup water is 250ml or 8 oz, but what about 1 cuo of sugar? 1 cup of dates? Rice? Almonds? 1 cup of each of these is not going to weigh the same. So its better to fill a cup, weigh it and record the weight (that is, if you are trying to log the calories).
