From a package weight to a recipe portion
Enter the pound quantity from the recipe or label. The table includes quarter and half pounds so you can weigh the required portion directly from the package.
Read the lb unit as a weight
This converter uses the international avoirdupois pound. A historical local pound or a German metric Pfund is a different unit; use the measure actually named by the recipe.
