Understanding the Units
What is a Pound?
A pound (lb) is a US customary unit of weight equal to 453.592 grams or 16 ounces. It is used for larger quantities of ingredients like flour, sugar, and meat.
What is a Cup?
There are three cup standards used worldwide. The US cup (236.588 ml) is used in American recipes. The metric cup (250 ml) is standard in Australia, New Zealand, and some parts of Asia. The imperial cup (284.131 ml) appears in older British and Canadian recipes. A metric cup holds about 5.7% more than a US cup, while an imperial cup holds about 20% more. Using the wrong standard can noticeably affect a recipe.
