Conversion Charts

I have, German cookbooks, English cookbooks and American cookbooks all use different measurements, Grams and Kilos, Pounds and ounces and Cup sizes. My scales have either the metric or imperial weights and I can switch between the two, I also have the proper cup sizes and a jug with all the measurements on it including fluid cups, so any recipe is no problem for me, I am never going to struggle trying to convert the measurements… It has occurred to me that my posts flit between all of the measurements, depending on where I got my resources from, and that not everyone would have all the equipment that I do, so I thought I would try and do a few, conversion charts of my own. I have checked online, and no one page has the same equivalents, so I have used the ones that I have been using up until now.
