Aproape toți am gatit macar odata, folosind retete dupa site-uri sau reviste straine si evident am avut dificultati cu aprecierea cantitatilor, daca acestea erau exprimate in sitemele de masurare american sau imperial.

In sistemul american, intalnim in retete unitati de masura ca: tablespoon / teaspoon (lingura / lingurita) si cup (ceasca) sau pint.

In sistemul imperial, avem :”fl”- pentru fluide si “oz” – de la uncie.

 

In tabelele de mai jos vedeti  cateva echivalente de cantitati.
