Measurements and Conversions

These measurements and conversions from Standard to Metric units will help you in the kitchen and especially when making recipes!

I’ve been wanting for a while now to set up a chart like this to detail measurements and conversions from weights (Standard and Metric) to temperatures (F to C). I hope this helps when reading the recipes here. With more and more international traffic (yeah for this site!) I have been asked several times for this.

Measurements and Conversions

 Some regular ingredients I use throughout the site are the following unless otherwise stated:

• 1 cube butter = 8 tablespoons (Tbsp) unsalted unless otherwise noted
• Flour is always all-purpose flour, unless otherwise noted
• Eggs are large, unless otherwise noted
• I use kosher salt, but feel free to use regular table salt

Cup, Tablespoon (Tbsp) and Teaspoon (Tsp) to Milliliters – (cup to ml)

• 1 cup = 16 tablespoons = 48 teaspoons = 240 ml
• 3/4 cup = 12 tablespoons = 36 teaspoons = 180 ml
• 2/3 cup = 11 tablespoons = 32 teaspoons = 160 ml
• 1/2 cup = 8 tablespoons = 24 teaspoons = 120 ml
• 1/3 cup = 5 tablespoons = 16 teaspoons = 80 ml
• 1/4 cup = 4 tablespoons = 12 teaspoons = 60 ml
• 1 tablespoon = 15 ml
• 1 teaspoon = 5 ml

Cup to Fluid Ounces (oz) –  (cup to fl. oz)

• 1 cup = 8 fl oz
• 3/4 cup = 6 fl oz
• 2/3 cup = 5 fl oz
• 1/2 cup = 4 fl oz
• 1/3 cup = 3 fl oz
• 1/4 cup = 2 fl oz
• 1 tablespoon = 0.5 fl oz
• 1 fl oz = 2 tablespoons = 6 teaspoons

Ounces to Grams

• 1 oz = 28 grams
• 2 oz = 56 grams
• 3.5 oz = 100 grams
• 4 oz = 112 grams
• 5 oz = 140 grams
• 6 oz = 168 grams
• 8 oz = 225 grams
• 9 oz = 250 grams
• 10 oz = 280 grams
• 12 oz = 340 grams
• 16 oz = 450 grams
• 18 oz = 500 grams
• 20 oz = 560 grams
• 24 oz = 675 grams
• 27 oz = 750 grams
• 36 oz = 1 kilogram
• 54 oz = 1.5 kilograms
• 72 oz = 2 kilograms

Pounds (lbs) to Grams

• 1/4 pound = 112 grams
• 1/2 pound = 225 grams
• 3/4 pound = 340 grams
• 1 pound = 450 grams
• 1.25 pound = 560 grams
• 1.5 pound = 675 grams
• 2 pound = 900 grams
• 2.25 pound = 1 kilogram
• 3 pound = 1.35 kilograms
• 4.5 pound = 2 kilograms

Fahrenheit to Celsius (F to C)

C x 1.8 + 32 = F
F – 32 / 1.8 = C

• 500° F = 260 C
• 475° F = 245 C
• 450° F = 235 C
• 425° F = 220 C
• 400° F = 205 C
• 375° F = 190 C
• 350° F = 180 C
• 325° F = 160 C
• 300° F = 150 C
• 275° F = 135 C
• 250° F = 120 C
• 225° F = 107 C
