"Also, depending on the ingredient, it makes more sense to use cups as a measurement of volume, not mass, when converting to metric." Hmmm... What kind of cup? :-) US "legal" cup (240ml) US customary cup (246,6ml) metric cup (250ml) UK cup (170,5ml) edit: fixed typo 150ml -> 250ml

Not sure where that 150ml came from - our metric country (New Zealand) 1 cup is 250 ml.

Thanks, I mistyped. I meant 250 ml.
