WeiGht/volUMe conversions

Cooking measurements are based on either weight or volume.
Conversions between weight and volume depend on the density of the
related ingredient. You can use the conversion chart on the following
pages to adjust a Weight to Volume conversion based on the
ingredient's density. The chart lists several common ingredients and
gives you an Adjustment Factor that you can use to calculate the actual
Volume of the particular ingredient.
So, if you've adjusted a recipe that now calls for 2-1/2 lbs. of butter,
you can quickly determine how many cups of butter you'll need for
the recipe.
