Metric conversion table, Cooking problems, Change Celsius to Fahrenheit

The metric conversion table has really come in handy for me as I make recipes from around the world. Converting from US to the metric system and converting temperatures from Fahrenheit to Celsius have been two major cooking problems that I have had to deal with. As long as I stayed within the United States I never gave this a thought. How times have changed! If you are originally from another country, you may already be using the metric system. If not, some day the following chart may come in handy for you.

US TO METRIC

• 1 Teaspoon =======4.9 milliliters


• 1 Tablespoon =====14.8 milliliters


• 1 Cup===========236.6 milliliters


• 1 Pint===========473.2 milliliters


• 1 Quart ========= 946.6 milliliters


• 1 Gallon========= 3.786 liters


• 1 Ounce ========= 28.00 grams


• 1 Pound ========= 0.45 kilograms


• 1 degree Fahrenheit= 0.55 degrees Celsius

METRIC TO US

• 1 milliliter========= 0.034


• 1 liter============ 2.10 pints


• 1 liter============ 1.06 quarts


• 1 liter=========== 0.26 gallons


• 1 gram========== 0.035 ounces


• 1 kilogram ====== 2.20 pounds


• 1 degree ======= 1.80 degrees Fahrenheit

The following chart has come in handy when figuring oven temperature when cooking in Ecuador. The Celsius degrees are rounded off to the nearest number in increments of five. It is common in cookbooks which list Celsius along with the Fahrenheit temperatures.

CELSIUS……………FAHRENHEIT

• 120………………………250


• 135………………………275


• 150………………………300


• 160………………………325


• 180………………………350


• 190………………………375
