Does 24 ea eggs mean 2 dozen eggs?Yeah, 2 dozen equals 24 eggs.
How many cups of flour does 7 lbs make? I have a 25 lb bag and do not use a scale. And the 6 lbs of sugar make how many cups?Couldn't tell you that. And that's really the point. For most things, volume measurements (cups) are less accurate than weight. A cup of flour can weigh 3 oz. or 5 oz depending on how its packed. When you get up to production size recipes, the variation would cause to much inconstancy.
Ever see the disclaimer on the cereal box that says, "This box filled by weight, not by volume. some settling may occur during shipment."
