Hello. When you give quantities for items such as chicken, pasta and potato salads, and cole slaw, it lists the amount in "gallons." How do I convert this amount to "pounds?" Thank you! |

Converting "gallons" to "pounds&quo The difficulty is, various recipes weigh different amounts- for example, a chicken salad with grapes and nuts weighs differently from one with just celery; pasta salads with chopped meat or tuna weigh more than those with Italian vegetables. So if you are trying to translate, make your recipe in a small amount, weigh and measure, and then multiply. If it is just a standard potato salad, you will see at the grocery how much a gallon weighs. Sorry I can't be more specific. People eat mostly by amount, not weight- meats can be easily calculated by weight, other items are much more difficult- |
