Frequently asked questions
Can I print these conversion charts?
Yes. The page is laid out as clean tables that print neatly on a single sheet — ideal for taping inside a cupboard door.
Which cup size do the charts use?
All volume and density charts use the US 240 ml cup, which is standard in American recipes. Metric cups (250 ml) are slightly larger.
Do the charts cover oven temperatures?
Yes. The oven temperature table maps Fahrenheit, Celsius, gas mark and a plain-language description from very slow (275°F / 140°C) to very hot (450°F / 230°C).
Where do the grams-per-cup values come from?
They are standard densities for loosely spooned ingredients (brown sugar packed) in a US 240 ml cup, the same values every calculator on this site uses.
Is there a chart for butter sticks?
Yes. The butter table lists sticks, cups, tablespoons and grams side by side, from ½ stick up to 4 sticks (1 pound).
