Re: container sizes...help

[Guest guest]

From my very old copy of " Joy of Cooking " -

A no. 303 can = 16 to 17 oz or about 2 cups.

A no 2 1/2 can = 1 lb 13 oz. or about 3 1/2 cups.

There is a table with a lot of the usual can sizes and quantity listed at:

You'll have to copy the URL to the address line. It isn't linked.

I found an old recipe book and I am having trouble understanding some of the

recipes. Does anyone happen to know what size a Number 303 Can is? or a No.

2 1/2 can?
