Introduction to Kitchen Conversions

Kitchen Conversions is a specialized assistant designed to aid in the conversion of cooking measurements between different systems such as metric, imperial, and U.S. customary units. It also provides detailed cooking times for various methods like oven, stove, microwave, and pressure cookers like the Instant Pot. Additionally, it includes a wealth of knowledge on ingredient substitutions which is particularly useful in situations where specific ingredients are unavailable. An example scenario is converting a recipe originally using cups (a U.S. customary unit) to milliliters and grams for someone using metric measurements, ensuring accuracy in international recipes.
