Aren't units fun. I once watched an English cookery program by Delia
Smith in Canada, another Metric country. She dutifully read out all the
measurements in imperial, Metric and where oven temperatures were
concerned Gas Mark units, but of course for the US cooks there was also
a sub-title card translating the quantities into "cups" however big
those are....
.. mind you they al;so had a program on how to dress down in style...
Tell me about it. I once ahd to recalibrate an
oven thermostat after
repariign it (it was a few days before Newtonsday, we needed the oven
to cook the turkey, and the correct repalcement was totally
unobtainable so I had to repair the old thermostat). I found that the
on/off points were not even approximately repaatable.... I think I got
it somehwat near and said 'try that'. Well, the food was edible...
Do
electric ovens in the UK use the "Gas Mark" convention? It took
me a little research on how to translate GM/Regulo settings to
degrees F--basically it's 250F+GM*25. Fractional GMs are still a
little confusing. --Chuck
