New feature: Select your preferred units

We recently rolled out automated unit conversions so that all recipes on ckbk are now available with both US Cup and metric measurements.

 
 

We have now added the option to set your preferred units. By default, ckbk shows ingredient measurements as they appeared in the author’s original version, but if you would like to always see measurements converted to your preferred units, just go to the ckbk user settings page where you can now specify which units you would like to see:
