    An easier-to-navigate frames version of the FAQ is available at http://vsack.homepage.t-online.de/rfc_faq.html

    For luddites, the no-frames version is http://vsack.homepage.t-online.de/rfc_faq0.html


    The rec.food.cooking FAQ and conversion file has two parts.

    The first part covers conversion and equivalence. Tables are given
    for conversion of oven temperatures, food names, weights and measures.
    Some useful substitutions for unavailable ingredients are suggested.

    The second part is more descriptive. It outlines some of the commonly discussed topics of rec.food.cooking and explains a number of food
    terms. It also lists other food-related newsgroups and mailing lists,
    as well as food-related FAQs, recipe archives and other food/cooking
    sites.

    Impressive FAQ. Initially wondered why it wasn't all on the post, then
    stopped wondering once I saw the breadth of info on the page.

    It is bookmarked.

    Yes. it was. Amazing how accurate it still is today. Even with
    inflation, still two pints to a quart.
