[QUOTE="freshlybrewed, post: 946540, member: 201440"] No wonder my recipes are turning out bad. If the US recipe is 3 tbsp and I'm using UK tablespoons :***: I hate this, why don't they use their own measuring instead of call it the same as ours and use their own calibration for it? So it's not just a problem with the software, it's a problem with humans, and not limited to cooking. What I've been doing however is anything where I use tsp tbsp measures I create my own tsp = g portion. Just weigh 10 tsp / tbsp in grams and divide by ten for the average and enter that in the portion section. That way it'll be accurate in the software, so 1tsp of baking powder weighs less than 1tsp of bicarbonate of soda or 1tsp of lead or 1tsp of oil if you're a robot. I do use NutritionData.com it's a great site for reference, thank you. edit: I found this site [URL]http://www.metric-conversions.org/[/URL] which will be helpful. [/QUOTE]
