Conversion Charts

I will provide 2 handy conversion tables which everybody can use to calculate the precise amounts of all liquid ingredients and most commonly used dry ingredients between U.S. Standard system and the Metric system we use in the Netherlands.

Conversion table: Liquid ingredients

Liquids can be converted with the following table. Ingredients like salt, herbs, spices, baking powder, baking soda etc. can be converted with this table. But do not use this table to convert other non-liquid ingredients!

Cups	Metric equivalent
1 teaspoon (ts)	5 ml
1 tablespoon (tbs)	15 ml
1/8 cup	30 ml
1/4 cup	60 ml
1/3 cup	80 ml
1/2 cup	120 ml
2/3 cup	160 ml
3/4 cup	180 ml
1 cup	240 ml
1 ½ cups	350 ml
2 cups	475 ml
3 cups	700 ml
4 cups	950 ml

* In case this level of precision is not necessary 
you can round the conversions off as follows:
1 cup = 250 ml
2 cups = 500 ml
4 cups = 1000 ml

Conversion table: Non-Liquid (Dry) ingredients

All non-liquid ingredients and honey & syrups can be converted with the following table. Make sure you search for your ingredient because the weight differs!

Conversion Table: Oven Temperature

Since the oven temperatures also differ between U.S. system and the metric system here's another useful conversion table.

Gas	Fahrenheit (°F)	Celsius (°C)
1	275	140
2	300	150
3	325	170
4	350	180
5	375	190
