Oven temperatures

OVEN TEMPERATURES

Conversion Chart - Oven Temperatures

Celsius = Fahrenheit = Gas Mark

110 C= 225 F= ¼

130 C = 250 F = ½

140 C= 275 F = 1

150 C = 300 F = 2

170 C= 325 F = 3

180 C= 350 F= 4

190 C = 375 F = 5

200 C= 400 F = 6

220 C = 425 F= 7

230 C= 450 F = 8

Conversion Chart - Grams to UK Pounds/Ounces

Grams Pounds / Ounces

10 g = 0.25 oz............. 250 g = 9 oz

15 g = 0.25 oz .............275 g = 9.75 oz

25 g = 1 oz................... 300 g = 10.5 oz

50 g = 1.75 oz .............350 g = 12 oz

75 g = 2.75 oz ..............375 g = 13 oz

100 g = 3.5 oz.............. 400 g = 14 oz

150 g = 5.5 oz .............425 g = 15 oz

175 g = 6 oz................ 450 g = 1 lb

200 g = 7 oz................ 500 g = 1 lb 2 oz

225 g = 8 oz .................700 g = 1.5 lb

Kilograms to Pounds & Ounces

1 kg = 2.25 lb

1.25 kg = 2 lb 12 oz

1.5 kg = 3 lb 5 oz

2 kg = 4.5 lb

2.25 kg = 5 lb

2.5 kg = 5.5 lb

3 kg = 6.5 lb

American Cups

Converting American cups into grams or ounces is slightly more complicated as it depends on the products. A complete table using alphabetical order is the solution for the conversions. However for a quick conversion, 1 cup is 80z or 225g.

Converting Liquids

A word of warning when using British recipes, American cooks need to be aware of the fact that pints if called the same mean something different.

US pint = 473 ml,

UK pint = 568 ml,

That is a substantial difference of about 20% larger, which could ruin a recipe.

More and more cookbook authors are aware of their international audiences and it is common to find conversion charts as an appendix at the end of a book.

E-Converter

When using an e-converter, it is important that the converter is easy to use, and as accurate as possible.

As there does not seem to be the advance of a universal weight measurement, it is important to get one's own strategies which will make the cooking process as easy as it should be.
