Help!
I have a recipe that calls for 375cc water. I can't find any conversion
to ml, oz, liters, cups, anything. This is for a bread machine recipe
so I don't want to ruin too many batches experimenting.
Anyone can help?

For all practical purposes,cc's (cubic centimeters) are the same thing
as ml (milliliters). There are about 237 ml per U.S. cup so 375 ml (or cc) is
a little over 1 1/2 U.S. cup.

It's easier than you thought. CC (cubic centimetres) is the same as
ml, it's just another way of putting it. So 1 cubic centimetre =
1 millilitre. It took me ages to figure that one out. Eve

You can find a conversion chart at:
http://www.french-property.com/ref/convert/htm

It will do the calculations for you if you want.

I think it should be about 1 1/2 cup water...

The usual conversion cross over I use is 1.06 qt equals 1 liter
(1000 ml). I'm putting the conversion formulas here, but they
will have to be viewed with a fixed pitch font or the componets
won't line up correctly.

On one side you start with the figure you know 375 ml so:

(1 liter) (1.06 qt.) ( 32 oz )
375 ml (-------) (--------) (-------) == X oz.
(1,000 ml)(1 liter ) (1 quart)

so you get:

(375 X 1 X 1.06 X 32) divided by (1000 X 1 X 1) equals X oz.

12,720 divided by 1000 equals 12.72 oz. or 1 1/2 c. plus 2T.

for quick-and-dirty ballpark figures:

1 teaspoon=5 ml
1 Tablespoon=15 ml
1 oz=30 ml
2oz (1/4 c.) (4 Tablespoons)=60 ml
4 oz (1/2 c.)=120
8 oz (1 cup)=240 ml

Hope this helps,

Pat

I believe cc and ml are interchangeable. So, 375 cc is 375 ml

They might be...but cc stand for cubic centimeters and ml stands for
milliliters...

Yes, they are intercangeable. A litre is a cube that is 10cm. on a side.
But you may find it easier if you consider;

A litre (1000 ml) of water weighs the same as 1 kilo (1000 grams)
Your recipe calls for 375 ml/cc water. Simply weigh out 375 g of
water on your weighing scale and use that.
One of the sad facts of life is that decimal weighing and measuring systems
take all the fun and head scratching out of most things.
If you cant weigh it out a teaspoon holds 5ml/cc/g. Divide 375 by
5 giving 75 teaspoons. Happy spooning... :-)

In the states cc has been used for fluid volume since the 1950's
when medical measures were converted to metric. 1 cubic
centimeter and 1 milliliter are the exact same volume so it is an
interchangeable term because 1 ml of water occupies 1 cm/3.

Right you are, but the definition of a milliliter <is> a cubic
centimeter. Trust me, I'm an engineer.

Pat,

You are correct when you say that one ml of water occupies one
cubic centimeter of space, but the fact is that one ml of
anything occupies one cubic centimeter of space. Where water
comes in is that (at standard temperature and pressure) a ml of
pure water weighs one gram.

Yup, but a 1 cubic centimeter of water is exactly 1 millilitre of
water.

In fact that is how 1 litre of water is defined (in terms of volume).
Take a look in a high school chemistry textbook (blow the dust off
first)

Cheers

Well, there is definately 4 tablespoons in 1/4 cup. :) I measured
it the other day just to double check, while I was working on
multiplying a bread recipe.

One and one-half metric cups. A shade over that for American.

Or 25 Tablespoons.

As far as I recall, a liter is *by definition* a volume equal to
a cubic decimeter, so a milliliter would by defintion be a
cubic centimeter.

Jeez guys, one litre is *DEFINED* as 1000 cc.

I learnt that at school *before* Australia shifted to the
metric system.

The liter was originally defined to be the volume occupied by 1 kg of
water at the temperature of its maximum density (which is close to 4
degrees Celsius) under a pressure of 1 atm. The liter was supposed to
be equal to a cubic decimeter, but it was discovered that it was too
big by about 0.003%. Eventually in 1964 the liter was redefined to be
exactly 1000 cubic centimeters. I suspect that nobody's cooking will
be ruined by a 0.003% measurement error.
