1/2 my formulas are in metric and 1/2 in standard. I increase and decrease the same both ways.
Are you telling me I'm more more inteligent in metric? Hey! I'm all for it, those crazy americans
Please don't tell anyone, but lately I've been having these feelings. I think I may be BI-SYSTEMATICAL

Ok, try to multiplu 3# by 1/4. Increase 2 spoons by 20.
hmmmm.....

My recipes include eggs by weight. I can easily change a creme brulee recipe from 4 servings to 400 in seconds. No annoying counting(was that 250 yolks or 260?)
