Conversion Chart

Conversion: thermostat – temperature

Thermostat 1 = 30ºC – 86°F
Thermostat 2 = 60ºC – 140°F
Thermostat 3 = 90ºC – 194°F
Thermostat 4 = 120ºC – 248°F
Thermostat 5 = 150ºC – 302°F
Thermostat 6 = 180ºC – 356°F
Thermostat 7 = 210ºC – 410°F
Thermostat 8 = 240ºC – 464°F
Thermostat 9 = 270ºC – 518°F

Conversion: dry ingredients – weight

1 cup flour = 100 g = 4 oz
1 cup cornstarch = 100 g = 4 oz
1/2 cup powdered sugar = 100 g = 4 oz
1/2 cup powdered sugar = 100 g = 4 oz
1 tablespoon butter or margarine = 15 g = 1/2 oz
1/2 cup butter or margarine = 100 g = 4 oz
3/4 cup walnuts, hazelnuts, crushed almonds = 100 g = 4 oz
1 cup grated cheese = 100 g = 4 oz
1 1/3 cups honey or maple syrup = 450 g = 16 oz
1 cup fresh cream = 175 g = 6 oz
1/2 cup dried fruit = 75 g = 3 oz
2 cups (1 quart) fresh fruit = 100 g = 4 oz
1 cup of cereal = 175 g = 6 oz

Conversion: container – unit of measure

1 teaspoon = 0.5 cl = 5 g (salt, sugar, coffee) = 4 g (flour, semolina) = 3 g (cocoa, starch)
1 dessert spoon = 1 cl
1 tablespoon = 1,5 cl = 15 g (sugar, butter) = 12 g (flour, cream)
1 coffee cup = 10 cl
1 bowl = 35 cl = 300 g (rice) = 220 g (flour)
1 mustard glass = 15 cl = 100 g (flour, semolina) = 125 g (rice) = 140 g (sugar)
1 big glass = 25 cl = 150 g (flour, semolina) = 200 g (rice) = 220 g (sugar)
1 gallon = 3.785 l

Conversion : liquid ingredient – quantity

1/4 cup = 50 ml = 2 fl oz
1/2 cup = 120 ml = 4 fl oz
3/4 cup = 175 ml = 6 fl oz
1 cup = 240 ml = 8 fl oz
1 1/4 cups = 300 ml = 10 fl oz = 1/2 pint
2 1/2 cups = 575 ml = 20 fl oz = 1 pint
1 1/4 cup = 175 g = 6 oz

Conversion: grams to centiliters or milliliters

1 liter (1000 milliliters) of water weighs 1 kg (1000 grams)
1 kg of water (1 liter of water) = 1000 ml (milliliter) = 100 cl (centiliter) = 10 dl (deciliter)

So
100 g of water = 100 ml = 10 cl
150 g of water = 150 ml = 15 cl
or
200 ml (or 20 cl) of water weighs 200 g
300 ml (or 30 cl) of water weighs 300 g
What works for water also works for liquids that have about the same density, like milk, cream, wine…
