Ok, so I’m aware I use a lot of different measurements in my videos and have never really had a good reference point to give you to check what grams are compared to cups etc – I hate cups sizes, they should be for bras anyway!
So here’s a quick summary of cooking conversions which I will add to over time –but feel free to leave get in touch with any you want added and i’ll keep this updated.
Here’s a very simple oven conversion table: –
Gas F C
1⁄4 225° 107°
1⁄2 250° 121°
1 275° 135°
2 300° 149°
3 325° 163°
4 350° 177°
5 375° 191°
6 400° 204°
7 425° 218°
8 450° 232°
9 475° 246°
Breaking down cup sizes to grams etc isn’t as straight forward as you would like and can be pretty intensive. Here is a comparison of some popular ingredient measures that I have been sent in that works a charm for me.
