Weights and Measures

[faustus]

I'm having fun with recipes. Some of my recipes are in British, and some in America, and some in metric and some in imperial, and some in combinations of those permutations. A lot of what I'm cooking from right now is in US cups - which makes sense for flour and sugar, but less so for butter.

And of course US cup is 8 fl oz and UK is 5 fl oz.

Now I see that US and UK fl oz are not the same; 29.57353 ml and 28.41307ml repectively.

Can anyone point me to a website that will tell me how much 8 fl oz of flour, sugar and especially butter would weigh, either in oz or g? Or know this kind of thing off the top of their heads?

I think this might be the sort of thing I'm after - but the weights and measures rather than the ingredient side:

Is this any use?
