Today I am going to post some charts for the kitchen. These are things we all need to know. It just may save a little time, effort and money.
Out of eggs - no worries for baking
I hope these help someone.
We all run out of things, and often figure that out when in the middle of a recipe! YIKES. No need to run out to the store for one ingredient. Just substitute.
There are so many things that we can do in a pinch.
Being a little creative is good and saves your sanity at times!!!!
Thank you! I always have trouble trying to convert our measures to metric.
ReplyDeleteMe too! I see so many recipes from other countries I'd like to try.
DeleteLove conversion charts like these! I will figure out a way to print them for future reference.
ReplyDeleteCool. They are sure handy to have
DeleteP.S. I just pinned them to Pinterest on my Kitchen Tips board and can print them from there.
ReplyDeleteGreat idea - thanks!!!!
DeleteI like American recipes using cups. Ours are all weighed in metric now though my old recipes are pounds and ounces.
ReplyDeleteI like cups - but many chef's use pounds and ounces and if you follow their recipes you need to weigh. I sometimes see a recipe from other countries I want to try and I have a hard time converting.
DeleteAlways good to have at hand! I use the buttermilk substitution all the time. My grocer carries it regularly in March for those of us who make soda bread, but other times it's sometimes hard to come by. And, I'd not see the sugar-to-honey substitution before. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome. Yes, I do the buttermilk thing a lot. I hadn't seen that sugar/honey chart till the other day. I thought that was pretty neat.
DeleteI too use the buttermilk substitution. SO many of my recipe's are from Sweden so I earned early how to convert. But this is a great resource.
ReplyDeleteThanks. Glad it might come in handy. It is always something to have on hand JUST in case!
DeleteI was a teenager when Canada went metric so I tend to use cups and teaspoons/tablespoons rather than the metric option. I have used applesauce in place of eggs before but had no idea those other items could be used as well.
ReplyDeleteVery interesting!
Nice to be well versed in both options!
DeleteSo many things we can do when we have a need.
I grew up with the metric system and after almost 20 years in the US, still can't wrap my head around pints, quarts, ounces etc. I only know what a gallon is...lol. I've always known about the self raising flour substitution, because I grew up using SR flour. In fact, we used very little AP flour (or cake flour as we call it) in my country.
ReplyDeleteThese are very helpful tips.
I think it is easy - but I grew up with cups and ounces. I think metric is hard. Funny how we get used to things.
DeleteIt is amazing how many types of flour there are. We have so many options to choose from.
