Very nice, Alina. Thanks!

It is nice to have all these conversions/weights/scales - My textbook from school has all of the info for me and my pages are really dog eared, that's for sure.

Great info and thanks, Alina. Now, could someone please explain (in simple terms) how the scaling works? Does that mean to reduce the weight of each ingredient by that amount?

Maryann, here are a couple links that might help you. The first one is the one I used to use before I went to school.

I'll wait until I'm on the laptop so I can download into Excel and save in that format.

Sorry the original post for the spreadsheet had the explanation, but since I've always done using an algebraic equation to get my conversion coefficient, I didn't bother to copy it.
