The weight conversions for this chart and for most of Cookipedia are rounded to the nearest usable amount (eg: 40g is rounded to 1.5 oz whereas it is actually 1.41095847798322 oz). Most conversions don't round to convenient figures.  For culinary purposes, this make little or no difference. If however you do need exact conversions or conversions that are not covered by this chart, there are useful '''[http://www.conversion-converter-calculator.com/what-is-752-grams-in-pounds-and-ounces.html interactive weight converters here][http://grams-to-pounds-and-ounces.co.uk/ and here]'''.  They are accurate to 10 decimal places and cover all many common conversions.

Don't forget that for culinary purposes millilitres (ml) is equal to grams (g) when measuring out most liquids.  Try it out next time you need to accurately add a measured amount of liquid; [[breadmaking]] is a great example.

'''Note on cup measurements'''.
'''Note on cup measurements'''.


In 'modern' recipes, use of the cup measure appears mainly in American recipes.  Even here in the UK, there are 2 standards.  The Commonwealth or Imperial cup measurement is 1/2 pint though in practice it is only commonly used in historic/old recipes. If your recipe uses cups as the 'base' measurement for all ingredients, then you should be OK.  If you are uncertain, err on the side of caution (play it safe).  In general, it is easy to add a little more of an ingredient - it is much harder (impossible??) to take it away again after adding it.
