Measuring stick - lazy question

[Rwilts]

I have done a search and although there is lost of talk of people using measuring stick i couldn't see any numbers.

Save me having to work it all out does anyone know the figures for a 50L stock pot 40cmx40cm?

I was thinking of just halving the hight and marking that as 25L and then halving each of those points to get more gradients :thumb:

I await your derision :

But is your pot 50lt to the brim?

Put 5l in then mark your stick.

The pot will not be completely cylindrical so you need to put another 5 l in and mark the stick again.

The distance between the 2 marks represent 5l so you can just measure that distance all the way up marking off 5 l intervals.

if you aren't to anal about accuracy then 1litre = 8mm or get a litre jug and start the tap running

Be aware that most measuring jugs are pretty inaccurate. Mine certainly are. If you have them, use digital scales to weigh the water. 1L = 1kg
