What is a Can No. 2 in Ounces?
Sep 1st, 2008 | By Henna | Category: MeasurementsWhen using older recipes, you may come across can numbers rather than by ounces. Here’s a chart to help decide which size can you need to use, or approximate amount of food if using fresh.
Keep in mind, it’s just an approximate… you can fudge the amount a bit and still come out just fine – and no one will know. A good excuse to do some taste testing while you making your dish.
