smash - help!

[mandimoo]

my smash tin says to have 30mg smash to 150ml water, but ive only got measuring cups showing the ml.

so what portion of smash to water? what is 30mg in ml?

[tinkerbell23]

12ml smash to 150ml water? X

[nungate]

20mg or 20 grammes is roughly 1 ounce and 1 rounded tablespoon is roughly an ounce too so maybe one and a hlaf tablespoons of smash to 150ml of water. You ought to be able to gauge whether you've got it right by the consistency of the smash

This is the recipe I used to use in my uni days (many years ago).

1 1/2 cup of milk
1/2 cup of water
2 dessert spoons of butter
Bring to the boil and add
1 Cup of smash ( add more if too runny)

If you do all that Graham-W why dont you just make real mash?

[Graham-W]

I do nowadays. Much better.
I was talking about when I was a lazy student.

Does it matter, it's Smash? Polycell wallpaper paste is just as good.

Seriously if buying packet mash buy Mr Mash

[gingejbee]

Pretty sure that tin says 30 gm (that's a good ounce). You could 30mg up your nose!

[I.Don No]

you can also get frozen mash..........and I have also noticed you can buy big bags of ice cubes - for those who have forgotten the recipe!

[gingejbee]

Those ice cubes can be difficult, you know.

[rowanwitch]

I know they go runny when you cook them

[arieswoman]

i always thought that 30mg = 30ml; but i've never been good at science so maybe i'm completely wrong?

I buy big bags of ice cubes.......................

Frozen chopped onions are ace!

[ummmm]

I had a craving for smash when I was pregnant with my daughter. It always, without fail, came back up...

[gingejbee]

aries: well, mg is weight and ml is volume - so not really comparable. But for water, 1 ml weighs 1 gram (not milligram)

[albaqwerty]

Didn't know they still made it. Are the tin martians still around?

I liked them when I was young, but then again I also liked the Michelin man.
I grew up sane.

I did think that a mg =ml but wouldn't be the first time I was wrong :)

[mccfluff]

you grew up sane....

[vivandorron]

It's my guess that you need a scale as well as a measuring cup/jug.

I get great difficult with metric calculations because my mathematical education involved pounds, ounces; pints and gallons. e.g. A half pound steak and chips, with a pint of beer :-)
