Common mistakes in volume conversion

  • The US recipe cup is about 237 ml, neither 250 ml nor 200 ml. Rounding up to 250 ml makes a batch about 6% too big; rounding down to 200 ml about 15% too small. Use 2.4 dl per cup, or the exact 236.6 ml when baking demands precision.
  • Between neighbouring volume units it is easy to drop a power of ten: 1 cubic meter is 1,000 liters and 1 hectoliter is 100 liters. A 50 m³ pool holds 50,000 liters. Convert everything to liters before comparing and the slips become obvious.
