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.

[…] So, to save you the trouble of working out conversions, I have added a new page to my blog – Cooking Conversion Chart – which you can find on the menu across the top of the page. I found this chart on Simply Delicious. […]
[…] the American measurements used in almost all the recipes I find on Pinterest! Take a look at it here, or pin it from my board mentioned at the beginning of this […]
[…] But this chart (I love charts) made me breathe a sigh of relief. This should be all you need to make your calculations. It is from Simply Delicious. […]

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!
