on 3/9/2008 Nicely done! When I cook I generally go "by sight," and it usually works, but having precision around is often useful, and besides there are non-cooking contexts in which your article will be quite useful. Thanks! http://www.ustream.tv/larryfike

on 3/9/2008 Unless you've seen it in a different context, I understand 'parts' to work on a ratio basis. For example, I use a lot of evaporated milk and it says on the can to dilute it using 1 part evap. milk to 1.5 parts water. So if I empty the entire can into a large jug, I should then add 1.5 cans of water. Not sure if that's what you were asking.
