Conversion Charts

I wish I had found one of these charts when I started cooking years ago, especially after I bought my first Martha Stewart’s cookbooks – Pies & Tarts was my very first – and had to figure out cups and teaspoons into grams, and internet was not what it is today, especially in Italy.

 

In any case, you can find specific conversions & charts via google, but in the last few years I have been using an inexpensive but precise Convert! App for my iPhone.

 

Also, for liquids, there are those graduated measuring cups that show both ml and liquid oz./cups. For solids, there are inexpensive precision scales that have a button to switch between gr/kg & oz/lbs.

 

TEMPERATURE CONVERSIONS

 

275°F  =  140°C

300°F  =  150°C

325°F  =  165°C

350ºF  =  180ºC

375ºF  =  190ºC

400ºF  =  200ºC

425ºF  =  220ºC

450ºF  =  230ºC

475ºF  =  240ºC

 

VOLUME/LIQUID EQUIVALENTS

 

1 cup = 8 fl. oz = 237 ml.

3/4 cup = 6 fl. oz. = 177 ml.

2/3 cup = 5 fl. oz. = 158 ml.

1/2 cup = 4 fl. oz. = 118 ml.

1/3 cup = 3 fl. oz. = 79 ml.

1/4 cup = 2 fl. oz. = 59 ml.

1/8 cup = 1 fl. oz. = 30 ml. = 2 TBSP = 6 TSP

1/16 cup = 0.5 fl. oz. = 15 ml. = 1 TBSP = 3 TSP

 

CONVERSION EQUIVALENTS FOR COMMON SOLID INGREDIENTS

 

All purpose Flour – 1 cup = 5.2 oz. = 148 gr.

Superfine Cake Flur – 1 cup = 4.5 oz. = 130 gr.

Bread Flour – 1 cup = 5.5 oz. = 157 gr.

Whole Wheat Flour – 1 cup = 5 oz. = 144 gr.

Cornstarch – 1 cup = 4.8 oz. = 138 gr.

Cocoa – 1 cup = 3.3 oz. = 95 gr.

Butter – 1 cup = 2 sticks = 8 oz. = 227 gr.

Cream Cheese – 1 cup = 9 oz. = 256 gr.

Granulated Sugar – 1 cup = 7 oz. = 200 gr.

Powdered Sugar – 1 cup = 4 oz. = 115 gr.

Light Brown Sugar – 1 cup = 7.6 oz. = 217 gr.

Dark Brown Sugar – 1 cup = 8.4 oz. = 239 gr.

Chocolate Chips – 1 cup = 6.3 oz. = 180 gr.

Rolled Oats – 1 cup = 3.5 oz = 100 gr.

Almonds (whole) – 1 cup = 6.7 oz. = 191 gr.

Almonds (chopped) – 1 cup = 3 oz. = 85 gr.

Almonds (ground) – 1 cup = 3.7 oz. = 107 gr.

Walnuts (halves) – 1 cup = 3.5 oz. = 100 gr.

Walnuts (chopped) – 1 cup = 4 oz. = 114 gr.

Pumpkin Puree – 1 cup = 8.6 oz. = 245 gr.

 

and, approximately:

1 large Egg (yolk + white, no shell) = 1.7 oz. = 50 gr.

1 large Egg White = 1 oz. = 28.3 gr.

1 large Egg Yolk = 0.6 oz. = 17 gr.

 

GENERAL CONVERSIONS

 

1 oz. = 28.3 gr.

1 fl. oz. = 29.5 ml.

1 pint = 473 ml. (almost half a liter)

1 pound (lb.) = 453 gr.

In the last few days I noticed how the light and the colors in nature have shifted. The sweltering heat may disagree, but the light is softer and there are more yellow tones overall in nature, and greens are more subdued in the trees, especially the big ones. 

I notice this every year, increasingly more keenly since becoming a photographer and thus having learned to constantly evaluate the light. Noticing this subtle transition seems to happen no matter where I am. I used to notice it even when I lived in Hawai’i, where there are no deciduous trees and this shift is much more subtle….
