    ...and I've just been to a recipe site that realized I'm in Europe, so it is giving me metric measures. Unfortunately, it's just used a fixed conversion from the US oddities and is suggesting I need:

    78.07 ml basil leaves
    2.46 ml soya sauce
    14.79 ml fish sauce
    ...

    I'm going to need a pipette for this one... :laugh:

      Go for 100 servings - that will simplify measurement... :laugh:

              Indeed - Herself did sous vide steak last night, and we couldn't finish them, so I'm looking at a Thai Beef salad style thing to use up the meat.

                                You're measuring basil by volume! :confused: Also it needs to be clear as to whether that's fresh or dried. Looks like a double conversion via fl oz as I would expect those measures to have been in tsp (5ml) and tblsp (20ml) but why convert from a measuring unit everyone has available measures for? Oh and its going to cost to find finding a pipette to handle 10s of microlitres - good luck.

                                      ...and I've just been to a recipe site that realized I'm in Europe, so it is giving me metric measures. Unfortunately, it's just used a fixed conversion from the US oddities and is suggesting I need:

                                      78.07 ml basil leaves
                                      2.46 ml soya sauce
                                      14.79 ml fish sauce
                                      ...

                                      I'm going to need a pipette for this one... :laugh:

                                      We're not lazy....we just work hard so that we can order out all the time ;) (Although I've never seen 78ml of basil leaves, maybe I've seen a handful or a few grams.)

                                        It really isn't possible to cook in metric.
