Cooking Measurements: Measurments From Household To Metric
Cooking measurements can be tricky when you don't have the right tools. The first thing that I learned in culinary school
is that most professional recipes use metric measurements instead of household measurements, which really left me in
the dark. Here is a list of common conversions as well as a link to my favorite store for measuring gadgets.

One of my favorite stores for kitchen gadgets is Sur La Table. The first one that I went to was at the Fisherman's Wharf area in San Francisco, but they are located all over the country, or you can order online. They have a large selection of measurment tools from measuring cups to scales and thermometers.
