The cooking units in this cooking measurement converter are based on the metric and the Imperial cooking units. To convert all cooking units, please visit all cooking conversion page.
Cooking weights and measures
Cooking recipe units are measured in either mass (weight), volume or quantity. Converting a weight cooking unit (ounce, pound etc) to a volume unit (cup, tablespoon etc) is not possible unless you know the density of that ingredient.
Weight:
The US and the British recipes use pounds and ounces and the rest of the world uses grams and kilograms for weight measurement. To convert between the weight units, please visit weight conversion page.
Here is the cooking conversion factors list for weight from pounds to grams:
1 Pound =
- 16 ounces
- 0.45 kilogram
- 453.592 grams
Volume:
The liquid ingredients are measured by volume. The United States uses the US customary units and the British uses imperial units for volume measurement. The rest of the world uses the metric volume units. To convert between the liquid cooking recipe units, please visit all cooking conversion page.
Here is the cooking conversion factors list for volume from gallons to teaspoons:
1 US fluid gallon =
- 3.785411784 liters
- 4 quarts
- 8 pints
- 16 cups
- 128 fluid ounces
- 256 tablespoons
- 768 teaspoons
Temperature:
The oven temperatures may be quoted in degrees in Celsius or Fahrenheit (US and Canada). To convert between the oven temperatures, please visit Fahrenheit and Celsius converter page.
Here is the list for the common oven temperatures (rounded to the closest oven temperature equivalent in °C):
- 200 - 225 °F = 90 - 110 °C
- 250 - 275 °F = 120 - 135 °C
- 300 - 325 °F = 150 - 160 °C
- 350 - 375 °F = 180 - 190 °C
- 400 - 425 °F = 200 - 220 °C
- 450 - 475 °F = 230 - 250 °C
- 500 - 525 °F = 260 - 270 °C
