General conversion tips and notes

General conversion tips and notes

  • 450g = 1 lb = 16 oz.
  • 150 g flour = 1/3 pound flour = approximately 1 cup. Alternately, 1 pound flour = 3.6–4 cups
  • 250 g sugar = 1 cup. Alternately, a little over 1/2 pound sugar = 1 cup
  • 1/4 liter is approximately 1 cup (8 oz.)

Other notes

  • Haarsieb or “hair sieve” has nothing to do with a beauty product. Rather it is an extra fine sieve. Should not be confused with the “sieve” that goes inside a drain to catch hair.


This is simply a head-start. Project is underway, not completed!
