It's easy to use. I also find a lot is left up to one such as for instance a glass jar of cherries. Of course I asuume the cherries are pitted and drained Also with temp conversion I usually round off to American equivelent. We really for example dont bake say at 333 degrees so this could be say around 300F or even 325F etc. If you bake long enough, you have an idea of the tempeature ! http://www.grouprecipes.com/86111/german-chocolate-cherry-kuchen.html Translated from the German, the words "juicy" intriqued me, probably meraning its very moist.
