Frequently Asked Questions
What's the difference between cups and milliliters?
1 cup (US) = 240ml. Cups are volume measurements used in US recipes, while milliliters are metric. For baking, weight is more accurate than volume.
Should I use weight or volume measurements?
Weight (grams, ounces) is more accurate, especially for baking. Ingredients can be packed differently, affecting volume. Professional bakers always use weight.
How do I convert a recipe to different servings?
Multiply or divide all ingredient amounts by the scaling factor. For example, to double a recipe, multiply everything by 2. Be careful with seasonings—they scale less.
How do I convert oven temperatures?
Formula: (°F - 32) × 5/9 = °C. Or use the quick reference: 350°F ≈ 175°C, 375°F ≈ 190°C, 400°F ≈ 200°C.
Why do recipes sometimes fail when scaled?
Some ingredients (especially seasonings, leavening agents, and salt) don't scale linearly. Start with less and adjust to taste. Always use your judgment.
What's a Gas Mark in cooking?
Gas Mark is a temperature scale used in the UK and Commonwealth countries for ovens. It ranges from ¼ (very cool) to 9 (very hot).
