Measurements & Conversions - DivineTaste

If only the different countries in the world used the same system of measurement life would be much simpler and easier in the kitchen.  Also, there would be no need for this page! ☺ Since things are otherwise in the world we live in, here we go!

All the recipes on this site are tested using a 250ml cup. A standard American cup = 240ml. If you are using a 240ml cup fill it up generously and in case of liquids add 2 teaspoons extra for every cup required.

VOLUME AND LIQUID MEASUREMENTS

5 ml = one-sixth fl oz = 1 teaspoon 15ml = half fl oz = 1 tablespoon (NOTE: Australian tablespoon = 20ml) 30ml = 1 fl oz = 2 tablespoons 45ml = 1 and half fl oz = 3 tablespoons 60ml = 2 fl oz = quarter cup 75ml = 2 and half fl oz = one-third cup 125ml = 4 fl oz = half cup 150ml = 5 fl oz = two-thirds cup 175ml = 6 fl oz = three-quarters cup 250ml = 8 fl oz = 1 cup 600ml = 1 pint = 2 and half cups 900ml = 1 and half pints = 3 and three-quarter cups 1 litre = 1 and three-quarter pints = 4 cups

CUP CONVERSIONS

Please note that these are approximate estimates

1 cup sugar = 200g 1 cup icing sugar = 125g 1 cup flour = 140g 1 cup rice = 200g 1 stick of butter = 110g = 4oz

WEIGHT CONVERSIONS

15g = half oz 30g = 1 oz 45g = 1 and half oz 60g = 2 oz 75g = 2 and half oz 90g = 3 oz 100g = 3 and half oz 125g = 4 oz 150g = 5 oz 175g = 6 oz 200g = 7 oz 250g = 8 oz 275g = 9 oz 300g = 10 oz 325g = 11 oz 350g = 12 oz 375g = 13 oz 400g = 14 oz 450g = 15 oz 500g = 1 lb

TEMPERATURES

Gas Mark 1 = 140C = 275F = Very cool Gas Mark 2 = 150C = 300F = Cool Gas Mark 3 = 160C = 325F = Warm Gas Mark 4 = 180C = 350F = Moderate Gas Mark 5 = 190C = 375F = Fairly Hot Gas Mark 6 = 200C = 400F = Fairly Hot Gas Mark 7 = 210C = 425F = Hot Gas Mark 8 = 220C = 450F = Very Hot Gas Mark 9 = 240C = 475F = Very Hot
