| 5 | Google shouldn't have been a problem. Google "1/4lb ozs" and the conversion is done automatically. paora-tm - 2019-06-17 13:53:00 |
| 6 | And another great comment from autumwinds regarding asking questions on this thread. linette1 - 2019-06-18 16:24:00 |

People who were cooking before the metric system came in will no doubt have recipe books in imperial - and the USA still isn't metric. When in comes to length, I still buy tape measures that have imperial down one edge and metric down the other! socram - 2019-06-20 16:02:00 |
| 12 | I still use mainly imperial measurements in cooking as it was what I was brought up on and my baking comes out perfect, not so with metric conversions as I have discovered .. mainly too dry. However each to their own cgvl - 2019-06-20 22:23:00 |
| 13 | despite that we've been metric most of my life, I still have it in my head " 16 ounces to the pound, 14 pound to the stone" Always helpful to remember it for recipes (and people weights)! benthecat - 2019-06-25 19:33:00 |
| 14 | Imperial system - how many grains to 1 ounce?; 16 ounces to 1 pound; 14 pounds to 1 stone; how many stone to 1 hundredweight?; how many hundredweight to 1 ton? amasser - 2019-06-26 10:15:00 |

Grains and hundredweight don't really matter in the average domestic kitchen. I have recipes in imperial and recipes in metric. We just have to adapt but I still prefer, as one other poster does, the recipes that are in imperial. All my measuring and weight devices have both. buzzy110 - 2019-06-26 10:22:00 |
| 16 | Do the Imperial lovers still use pounds, shillings and pence? bowla3 - 2019-07-03 10:52:00 |
| 17 | bowla3 wrote: No we don't but I can still add, subtract and, with some effort, divide, to the power of twelve and twenty. And if any recipe has imperial measurements (because old recipe books printed before imperial still abound and exist in most people's kitchens) why would anyone bother converting them to metric before starting the process? It just isn't logical. buzzy110 - 2019-07-03 11:32:00 |
