Convert American units to recipes
American recipe and no idea what the measurements have to mean? Here's a little help.
I also like to bake recipes, in which unfortunately the list of ingredients is not at all comparable with ours, the conversion is sometimes not easy of cups in grams or fluid ounces in milliliters, pounds in weight, etc. but I do not like the recipes.
The picture you can see is a delicious cookie recipe and it would be too bad not to have tried it because of the conversion. Some time ago I did something smart on the internet and wrote out the most important dimensions. Maybe it will help you too.
The most important are first to know the basic ingredients, these include z. As liquids, flour and sugar and the baking temperature. In some recipes you read z. B. 1 stick of butter and until I finally found out how much is exactly a piece of butter. It is quite simple, and it is a longitudinally cut German butter so say about 125 grams. You also like reading tablespoons (tablespoons) or teaspoons (teaspoons).
If you compare, 1 pound (pounds) would actually be 500 grams, but it is not, but only 450 grams. So if there's talk of 1 pound, you can subtract 50 grams from the ingredient.
Temperatures are also a tiresome topic as they do not heat in degrees like we do in Fahrenheit but in Fahrenheit.
Here is a small list of the most important ingredients:
oven
| Degree | 50 ° C | 60 ° C | 70 ° C | 80 ° C | 90 ° C | 100 ° C | 110 ° C | 120 ° C |
| Fahrenheit | 122 ° F | 140 ° F | 158 ° F | 176 ° F | 194 ° F | 212 ° F | 230 ° F | 248 ° F |
| Degree | 130 ° C | 140 ° C | 150 ° C | 160 ° C | 170 ° C | 180 ° C | 190 ° C | 200 ° C |
| Fahrenheit | 266 ° F | 284 ° F | 302 ° F | 320 ° F | 338 ° F | 356 ° F | 374 ° F | 392 ° F |
Liquids (cups)
| cups | 1 cup | 1/2 cup | 1/3 cup | 1/4 cup |
| milliliter | 236 ml | 118 ml | 78 ml | 59 ml |
Cup in grams
| Flour / powdered sugar | ||||
| Cup | 1 cup | 3/4 cup | 1/2 cup | 1/8 cup |
| gram | 120 g | 85 g | 60 g | 15 g |
| Butter / sugar | ||||
| Cup | 1 cup | 3/4 cup | 1/2 cup | 1/8 cup |
| gram | 225 g | 170 g | 115 g | 15 g |
Fluids (fluid ounces)
| milliliter | 10 ml | 50 ml | 100 ml | 120 ml | 150 ml | 500 ml | 1000 ml |
| Fluid ounces | 0.33 flop | 1.69 floz | 3.38 floz | 4.22 floats | 5.07 floz | 16.9 floz | 33.81 floated |
Weight (ounces)
| gram | 1 g | 10 g | 50 g | 100 g |
| ounces | 0.035 oz | 0.35 oz | 1.76 oz | 3.52 oz |
1 tablespoon = 15 ml of liquid
1 teaspoon = 5 ml of fluid
(If it is not a liquid, just a teaspoon or tablespoon of salt, sugar, etc.)
If you often cook and bake after such recipes, you can buy an extra measuring cup only for such recipes and even mark Cups dimensions with a waterproof pen that has been measured, then you always have the same important measurements Hand without having to convert.
I hope I could help you with that a bit, maybe you print it or write it down.
