Oven Temperature Conversion Chart
Since some recipes are written up slightly differently, or we are getting international recipes, hopefully this will be useful in making the conversion.
Very Low | 250-275˚ F | 121-135˚C |
Slow Cook | 300-325˚F | 149-163˚C |
Moderate Heat | 350-375˚F | 177-191˚C |
High Heat | 400-425˚F | 204-218˚C |
Very Hot | 450-475˚F | 232-246˚C |
Extremely Hot | 500-525˚F | 260-274˚C |
Liquid vs Dry Measures
When considering the measurement of wet and dry ingredients, the measuring device will measure out the same for each. An example is, a cup of sugar will be the same as a cup of milk. However, when looking at liquid measures and dry measures there are volume differences. As a pint of a dry ingredient is roughly 1/6 larger than a liquid pint.
Here is another chart that may be useful:
Quick note:
A gill is a unit of measurement where 1 gill = 1/8 qt, 1/4 pt, 1/2 C, 4 oz, 8 T, 24 tsp
Here is another chart that may be useful:
Liquid Measures | Dry Measures |
3 tsp = 1 T 2 T = 1 oz 4 oz = 1 gill 2 gills = 1 C (8 oz) 2 C = 1 pt (16 oz) 2 pt = 1 qt (32 oz) 4 qt = 1 gal (128 oz) | 2 C = 1 pt 2 pt = 1 qt 8 qt = 1 peck 4 pecks = 1 bushel |
