Making artichoke-spinach dip, recipe calls for a 170 ml jar of artichoke hearts- Nothing I saw in the store had any reference to milliliters-

Anyone got any idea how many oz. or grams of marinated artichoke hearts would constitute 170 ml?
 
Well Mike, now you're really in trouble!

Daughter's recipe for artichoke/spinach/Parmesan dip calls for one 14. oz CAN drained and chopped... doesn't mention a jar at all. LOL :)
 
That helps if artichokes were a fluid, now don't it? I will tell you this as gospel, you can find a jar of about that size in any other product and then get a similar size container of artichoke hearts. Add them in, taste it, if you want more chokes then add more. This is not a recipe for baking where you are dealing with chemical reactions between ingredients. This is more an approximation based on taste. So add more or less, as long as you like the taste you cannot go wrong.
 
Well it looks you got 3 for 3. 100%. Can't beat that. I like to steam them and then dip them in Italian style sauce, home brew, use my lower front teeth to scrape the goodie off the leaves. Good stuff.
 
Thanks, all. Used one little jar, didn't seem like enough, so used most of another. And added some chopped pickled jalapenos. We shall see.
 
Just remember a liter is a bit more than a quart. So 250 milliliters is about half a pint, or 16 fluid ounces. That would make a 170 ml about 10 fluid ounces.
 
There wasn't a can of choke hearts in all of Safeway. That's when you just bail on the whole plan and grab a pre-made 6 layer bean dip. And all the wives act like that's just fine, but you KNOW what they're thinking. . .

Its out of the oven, and smells edible. . .
 
Many kitchen measuring cups have English units on one side and metric units on the other, Pyrex and Anchor Hocking measuring cups do.

Some close approximate conversions are:
1 teaspoon = 5 ml
1 tablespoon = 10 ml
1 fluid ounce = 30 ml (29.574 ml)

Cooking recipes can often be adjusted a fair amount to taste or for available package sizes of ingredients.
 
Yep.

But likely artichokes are lighter than water (by volume) per milliliter!

WATER is the only substance that the "1 gram = 1 milliliter = 1 cubic centimeter" scenario is exactly accurate for.
 
Made the dip, didn't actually smell all that great when done. Folks seemed to like it, but wife said it was too spicy (which is strange, coming from her). I didn't really care for it- I liked the stuff I bought in the store last time better.

Someone brought a cheesy crab dip. As we were eating it, she complained that it didn't taste like crab. She had used the imitation crab (made from ground fish), and didn't know that the crab flavor vanishes if you cook it. She opined that it would be helpful if they told you that on the package, but then realized that then they wouldn't sell much fake crab, would they?
 
(quoted from post at 21:59:29 02/01/15) Yep.

Click to expand...

milliliter is a measure of VOLUME. Liquid, solid, gas. Doesn't matter. Milliliter is the space taken up by 1 cubic centimeter of water.

Fluid ounce is a measure of VOLUME also. It is the space taken up by 1 ounce of water.

It is a direct conversion from one to the other.

Besides, recipes are hardly exact. The dip is not going to explode in your face if you use 171ml of artichoke, or taste wrong if you use 169ml of artichoke.
