Tip Series -II


I say pound, you say kilo
I say ounce , you say gram
I say Fahrenheit, you say Celsius.


Cooking is an art. There shouldn't be any rules in art.
But Baking is a science. Exact amounts makes all the difference in world.

One of the things that I find very difficult while cooking is when I have to convert English measurement to American and vice versa . So thought why not round up everything into one place so I have it as a guide always.

Oven Temperatures

Fahrenheit Centigrade
Very Hot         475 - 450             250
Hot 450 - 375 200
Moderate 375 - 300 150
Slow 300 - 250 125
 
Spoons, Cups and pinches 
Standard measurements
1 tsp =5 gms
1dsp = 10gms = 2 tsp
1tbsp = 15gms = 3 tsp

1/4 Cup = 4 tbsp = 50 gms
1 Cup = 8 oz = 1/2 pint = 455 gms

1 Kilo = 1000 gms = 2.2 lbs
1 lb = 8 0z
Liquid Measurements

1 tsp = 5 ml
1dsp =10ml = 2 tsp
1tbsp = 15 ml= 3 tsp

1 Cup = 8 oz = 1/2 pint 1 Cup = 1/2 pint
2 Cup = 1pint = 1/2 liter
