One thing to watch: weight ounces vs. fluid ounces
This converter is for ounces of weight (avoirdupois ounces), the kind on a kitchen or postal scale. Fluid ounces measure volume, such as a cup of milk, and don't convert to pounds in the same way because it depends on what the liquid is. If your recipe says "fl oz," you'll want a volume conversion instead.
