Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 You might try looking for weight and measure conversions on the internet. There are several out there. Then you can print it and have it handy. Hope this helps. Elite in the USA On Behalf Of Kim Monday, June 06, 2005 4:40 AM Next Question - tomato sauce can sizes. Can anyone tell what the size of a medium and a small can of tomato sauce is ? Are they measuered by volume or weight ? TIA, Kim.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 I think it was more about having the right measurements when Kim puts the recipe in the files rather than a conversion issue.

Guest guest Posted June 6, 2005 Report Share Posted June 6, 2005 >>>Can anyone tell what the size of a medium and a small can of tomato sauce is ? Are they measuered by volume or weight ? A large can is generally 28 ounces. . .and a medium can is 12 1/2 ounces. Tomato paste comes in small cans of 4 ounces. And of course there are probably manufacturers that don't use any standard amount. Fortunately tomato sauce isn't a food that requires a super-exact measurement in most recipes. . .but still. . .a recipe that measures something by " a can " isn't very specific or accurate! I hope this helps somewhat, Kim. From LaDonna (who probably was the one who reposted the " can of tomato sauce " recipe here in the first place. . .)

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Thanks LaDonna. Would they be fluid ounces ? I just need a rough amount for those of us that can't buy 'tomato sauce' in cans (and don't even have an exact equivalent) and have to sub. These are the recipes : Egyptian Tabilch 1 medium-large size zucchini equal amount canned green beans 2 small cans tomato sauce** ------------ Dal Curry 2 cups lentils, stones picked out and boiled till soft 1 large yellow (brown) onions, chopped 1 bunch cilantro (coriander), washed well and chopped 1 large tomatoes 1 can coconut milk 1 can tomato sauce -- medium size** Thanks, Kim , " LaDonna " <teacups@c...> wrote: > >>>Can anyone tell what the size of a medium and a small can of tomato > sauce is ?

Guest guest Posted June 7, 2005 Report Share Posted June 7, 2005 Yes it is. Can measurements are often different in the US to Australia, and of course different manufacturers have different sizes. Then there's the fact that our tomato sauce is actually like ketchup and comes in bottles. We don't actually have the exact equivalent to the US tomato sauce (unless we go to a specialist US food stockist). Gets a little confusing at times.
