a cup is 8 ounces a lb is 16 ounces I think you would use 4 cups of squash. of course, I cut and clean the squash, poke holes in it with a fork and bake it and then add butter salt and pepper and br sugar and mix it all together and then bake for awhile longer. yummmm

In the states we measure by volume rather than weight. Just chop up a medium onion-- that doesn't need to be too precise. For the milk, use 180 mL. For the cheese, you'll want to use about 70 g.

Slam a couple of pints back......then just eyeball it. Works for me.
