 I hope that people can see this is supposed to be a humorous piece, and not take offense or feel the need to defend one side or the other.

That is pretty funny. I do have a Ariston W/d combo, to which I have no clue what the symbols stand for without having to stare at the pull-out guide. | ||

Well, in the USA, one might use btu/hour instead of watts... :) 1 btu/hour = 0.29307107 watts 1 watt = 3.41214163 btu/hour After all the international system is not enforced nor liked there! heheheh | ||

One thing the world would create is a washing machine load standar that's really "standard" everywhere. Exactly the same 5kg capacity machine in Brazil is sold as 5.5kg in argentina and almost 7kg in some european countries. That's odd. 1kg is 1kg everywhere in the world. Worst. why use weight instead of volume to measure capacity? 1kg of denims isn't the same as 1kg os wool. Why can't all the countries use the same standard that everybody would understand easily? | ||

Quote: Up to today I have to guess the temperatures when I'm reading American recipes or using american ovens.
Why Dear? use these approximations 200*C = 400*F and 175*C = 350*F 163*C = 325*F (meats at 25 minutes per pound, usually) that will take care of 90% of your cooking needs. *F -32* x 5/9 = *C Takes two seconds on the calculator. *c x 1.8 +32 =*F (where 1.8 = 9/5) APPROXIMATIONS -40 *c = -40*F 0*C = 32*F 22*C= 70*F 37*C = 98.6*F Body temp 40*C = 104*F (fever) 60*C = 140*F 80*C = 176*F 100*C = 212*F 175*C = 350*F (Roasting and baking) moderate oven 200*C = 400*f Medium-high oven 285*C= 550*F super-hot oven 1*C change = 1.8* F change | ||
