All of the baking conversion charts you'll ever need!
Published on 13 April 2022 2 min readHow many grams in a cup? What's gas mark 4 in celsius? How many millimetres are in a pint? How do you convert cups to grams? Whether you use metric or imperial measurements, it's likely you've found yourself asking these sorts of questions in the kitchen! We're here to rescue you with our simple conversion charts!
Oven temperature conversion chart
When you're baking in a new oven, it always takes a while to get used to it! Your sponge cake might have been perfect in 20 minutes in your gas oven, but dry and crumbly in the same time when using a fan oven. Throw in the added confusion of converting oven temperatures, and it can all feel a little overwhelming. This oven temperature conversion chart will help get you off to a good start!
Gas mark | Celsius (°C) | Fahrenheit (°F) |
---|---|---|
1 | 140°C | 275°F |
2 | 150°C | 300°F |
3 | 175°C | 325°F |
4 | 180°C | 350°F |
5 | 190°C | 375°F |
6 | 200°C | 400°F |
7 | 220°C | 425°F |
8 | 230°C | 450°F |
Pro Tip
Use an oven thermometer to check the temperature of your oven – most of the time they are off by 10-15 degrees!
Liquid conversion chart
Liquid measurements can be baffling – while we still use pints to measure milk and beer, our tin cans and drinks bottles are measured in ml! When it comes to baking, recipes tend to differ, but this chart will help you make sense of it!
Metric (ml/l) | Pint | Cups |
---|---|---|
125ml | ½ cup | |
150ml | ¼ pint | |
200ml | ||
250ml | 1 cup | |
275ml | ½ pint | |
300ml | ||
450ml | ||
500ml | 2 cups | |
570ml | 1 pint | |
750ml | 3 cups | |
1 litre | 1¾ pints | 4 cups |
Teaspoon conversion chart
When a recipe calls for a teaspoon or tablespoon, it can start to get a little confusing! Spoons vary in size, but when you use the ml equivalent you can be more accurate when baking.
Millilitre (ml) | Teaspoon/tablespoon (tsp/tbsp) | |
---|---|---|
1.25ml | ¼ tsp | |
2.5ml | ½ tsp | |
5ml | 1 tsp | |
10ml | 2 tsp | |
15ml | 1 tbsp | |
30ml | 2 tbsp |
Cups conversion chart
Cups to grams will differ depending on the ingredient you’re measuring, due to the weight of the ingredients not all being the same. To make sure the ratios are right, we recommend sticking to one form of measurement throughout your whole recipe - using either cups or grams - to keep it consistent. The end result might be slightly bigger or smaller, but it will still taste delicious!
