## Description

Metric Cooking is a handy Chrome extension that automatically annotates US cooking measurements with their metric equivalents on recipe web pages. It converts familiar US volume measures — like cups, tablespoons, and sticks of butter — into precise metric volume and weight units (e.g., milliliters, grams), making it simpler to follow recipes with a kitchen scale or metric tools. 

Whether you're unsure what a "stick of butter" measures or need an exact weight for "3/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons" of sugar, this tool adds clear metric annotations right next to the original measurements. It even attempts conversions between volume and weight where possible and includes metric equivalents for oven temperatures and pan sizes. Users can also report unannotated recipes via GitHub for improved support.
