Troubleshooting: Why Your Recipe Failed Common 240ml conversion mistakes →
❌
Mistake #1: Confusing fl oz with weight oz
240ml water = 8.11 fl oz (volume) BUT weighs 8.47 oz (weight)
✅ Fix: Always use "fl oz" for liquids, "oz" for solids
❌
Mistake #2: Wrong cup standard
US recipe? 240ml ≈ 1 cup ✓ | Australian? Need 250ml for 1 cup
✅ Fix: Check recipe origin - Fahrenheit = US, Celsius = likely metric
❌
Mistake #3: Ignoring density differences
240ml honey (340g) ≠ 240ml water (240g) - 100g difference!
✅ Fix: Use our converter above - it accounts for density
