Cooking Measurement Facts

Imperial vs Metric

The United States primarily uses imperial measurements in cooking, while most other countries use the metric system. This can lead to confusion in international recipes.

Baking Temperatures

Most recipes provide oven temperatures in Fahrenheit or Celsius. A classic baking temperature is 350°F, which is exactly 175°C.

Weight vs Volume

Baking requires precision. 1 cup of flour can weigh between 120-140 grams depending on how it's scooped, which is why professional bakers prefer weight measurements.

Global Cooking Units

A tablespoon varies globally: in the US it's 14.8 ml, in the UK 15 ml, and in Australia 20 ml. Always check recipe origins!
