Modernist Cuisine at Home - errors and typos

[Anonymous Modernist 13704]

First I want to say Modernist Cuisine at Home is a great book. I received it for Christmas and can't put it down. There is enough information here to get me started.

I've found a few errors and typos already. No doubt there are more. Please add any you find to this thread.

Page 192, target core temperature table, strip steak - medium rare Celsius and Fahrenheit values don't agree. 55C does not equal 133F.

Page XIV, common conversion factors, inconsistent level of precision. Example 1 lb = 453.592 g with 6 digits of precision while 1 g = 0.002 lb with only one. This must have been left to the intern.

I had noticed a few typos too. However, I do not understand what you mean by inconsistent level of precision? Both are precise to the thousandth. That would be the same degree of precision. It would be insane to write 0.00220462 lb. As it is, home equipment that can accurately handle 0.002 lb without breaking the bank is far and few between. Most scales are accurate to at most +/- 1.5g.
