Squash = 1 pound or 453.6 grams
1 cup (onion) = 8 ounces or 1/2 pint or 237 ml
salt & pepper....just use a couple of pinches (pick it up between your finger and thumb)
butter = 1 ounce or 28.3 grams
milk = 6 ounces or 170 grams
cheese = 6 ounces ot 170 grams
1 cup=8 oz.
a cup is 8 ounces
a lb is 16 ounces
I think you would use 4 cups of squash.
of course, I cut and clean the squash, poke holes in it with a fork and bake it and then add butter salt and pepper and br sugar and mix it all together and then bake for awhile longer.
yummmm
In the states we measure by volume rather than weight. Just chop up a medium onion-- that doesn't need to be too precise. For the milk, use 180 mL. For the cheese, you'll want to use about 70 g.
Slam a couple of pints back......then just eyeball it. Works for me.
1 tablesspoon = 1/3oz 3 tablespoons= 1oz
1cup= 8oz 1 pint = 1 pound
3 teaspoons =1tablespoon =1/3 oz
