Many of my readers have asked for a conversion chart as most of my baking recipes are done using the Metric system. I know that spoons, cups, etc. are different in many countries but these are the measurements that I use. As I’ve said before, when it comes to baking, I prefer to use my electric scale with grams/kilograms measurements because I find this to be the most accurate way of baking and once you start converting to cups, etc. it’s very easy to ruin the recipe. If you want the best results when it comes to my recipes, I would suggest you purchase a cheap electric scale which will make your baking so much easier.
Hi, I absolutely for your conversion chart but I’m not sure about the liquid measurements:
60ml – 2fl oz – 1/2 cup
Shouldn’t it be 1/4 cup?
It should! Total typo. You’ll see in the cup measurements above it does say 1/4 cup. Will fix asap. 🙂
WOW! This is a great site. I cook something different every night from different countries.I love the selections and interesting methods of prepping.
Can’t wait to give this the “MOTHERBOARD” of chiefing.
I studied at the FRENCH Institute of NY. So before you can cook, you need a technique!
Thanks for this..
I used your Mexican Hamburger Recipe the other day and it was amazing…..
Thank you for sharing it with us …
Thanks for this very hand conversion table. One question, is corn starch the same thing as corn flour? Might be one to add to your ingredients list. Thanks again.
Thanks Scott. It depends on where you live. In South Africa corn starch is called corn flour but I know it’s not always the case. I’ll do some investigating to make 100% sure.
Thanks for getting back to me Alida – I live in Australia if that helps. Cheers!
Hi: what the numbers on the 3rd circle are for? (Gas,1/4, 1/2, 1…)
Thank you so much
It is the gas measurement for gas ovens. 🙂
Alida, As an American, We have difficulty understanding and /or converting g.’s./ ml.’s / kg.’s/…etc. to our more familiar measurements we use here.(cups, Tbls., tspns, ounces, pounds, etc.) so, I am especially happy to find your Conversion Chart !! I was just about to ditch your recipe since I could only guess what most of the recipe content amounts were. Happily, I happen to see your reference to your Conversion Chart. Whew !! I’m usually pretty good at figuring how a recipe works, But am lousy at metrics. (We were not introduced to metrics until lots of us were finished w/ our education) Plus we found it hard to unlearn our prior measurement education we grew up with, so thanks again.
Thanks so much for your lovely comment. I realised pretty quickly that most of my traffic is American and that I’ll have to do a conversion chart as I really don’t want all you lovely State-siders to not be able to make my recipes. I’ve also started doing more and more of my recipes using cups instead of metric just to make things easier but where I struggle (as Metric is so drilled into me), I hope this conversion chart helps. 🙂
Hi, Alida I’m so glad to spot your blog it has been a great help to me ,the conversion chart is a wonderful and useful information . Sometimes i’m lost looking at some recipe not being sure of the measure amount to use . And your chart Alida has everything one can ask for . Thank you !
So glad you found it helpful!
