Cooking Measurement Converter: Cups, Grams, Tablespoons & More
Cooking Measurement Converter: Cups, Grams, Tablespoons & More Quick reference: 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons = 8 fluid ounces = 237 milliliters. For dry ingredients, weight conversions depend on density — 1 cup of flour weighs 120g, while 1 cup of sugar weighs 200g. Testing 300+ recipes shows that a "cup of flour" can weigh anywhere from 120g to 155g depending on how it's scooped. That 30% variance is enough to ruin a batch of French macarons, which is why so many bakers eventually switch to weighing everything on a digital scale. Side-by-side baking tests consistently show that understanding measurement conversions is one of the biggest factors separating inconsistent results from reliable ones.

Oven Temperature Conversion: Fahrenheit, Celsius & Gas Mark Guide
Oven Temperature Conversion: Fahrenheit, Celsius & Gas Mark Guide Quick conversion: Fahrenheit to Celsius = (°F - 32) × 5/9. For common oven temps: 350°F = 175°C = Gas Mark 4. Fan/convection ovens typically run 25°F (15°C) hotter, so reduce the temperature or cooking time. Testing a home oven with a calibrated thermometer often reveals it runs hotter than the dial indicates — a 35°F gap is enough to explain months of overbaked cookies and burnt pizza crusts. Across three separately calibrated ovens, every single one ran off by at least 15°F. Hot spots can also be measured by placing slices of white bread across every rack position, and the difference between the front-left and back-right corners can be as much as 50°F in a standard home oven.
