Conversions

When baking it's helpful to know measurement equivalents and conversions, such as teaspoons to cups, knowing metric conversions is also very helpful for when a recipe has been written by someone from Europe.  I come across metric measurements often when looking for French recipes.

In Europe, liquid measurements are in milliliters, while they are in increments of cups and fluid ounces in the United States.  Dry ingredients are also measured in milligrams, while in the United States we use cups, teaspoons, tablespoons, etc.

Here are a few table with a variety of conversions that are helpful with baking.
